Cheetos® Tamales Dia De Muertos

Dough:

Place the Cheetos® Torciditos in a food processor, crush them, and set aside.

In a large bowl beat the lard until light and fluffy.

In another bowl mix the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the lard and chicken broth until you get a soft dough. Stir in the crushed Cheetos® Torciditos and mix until evenly combined.

Filling:

In a skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato puree, blended Cheetos and broth. Cook for 5–7 minutes.

Mix in the shredded chicken and cook until the liquid reduces and the filling is juicy but not runny.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly:

Grease the molds.

Add 2–3 tablespoons of dough and spread slightly.

Place 1–2 tablespoons of filling in the center and cover with more dough.

Bake bain marie for 60 minutes at 180 degrees

Let them cool slightly, remove from the molds, and serve.
