Pork Pibil Tamal

In Mexico there are more than 4000 varieties of tamales, among these are the Pork Pibil Tamales that are cooked in banana leaves. They are characteristic for their filling of nixtamalized corn dough, to which any type of filling can be added. In this case we used chepil leaf or chipilín, a type of quelite with a very dominant flavor, and stuffed with pork pibil accompanied with pickled purple onions. They are very rich tasting and original!
