How to make RED Pork Tamales | AUTHENTIC Mexican Tamales Recipe | Villa Cocina

The Fir / Diana Chistruga

This delicious red salsa pork tamale recipe is a collaboration that spans generations. The pork filling is by contributor Ubish Yaren. And the masa dough comes from former Spruce Eats senior editor Adriana Velez's paternal grandmother Maria Estevez Velez as transcribed by her mother Norma Mendez Velez.

Ubish’s family makes their pork tamales for celebrations like Mexican Independence Day when the whole family gets together to eat and drink. It’s simple but delicious. Much of the flavor comes from guajillo chiles mixed with cumin seeds a typical spice mix used in central and northern Mexico.
