It's on! I bought a hog's head...

It’ll be easy. Make some sort of broth. Boil some big red chilis, onion and garlic. Those masa blocks are thick. Start with smaller chunk of masa, add a little broth / pinch of salt / pinch of cumino <<< all to taste. Lard or corn oil also comes in play here to soften it up. Add everything in small amounts until you get it that it’s easier to spread.

Taste the meat too. It can’t be dry and bland

How’s the taste ?

next year you need to get fancy and make some bean / cheese / jalapeño tamales 

We actually got so little meat off the hog head, that I had bought two pounds of chicken thighs, a pound of tomatillos, and a couple of anaheims as a backup plan..  Threw them in the instapot for a half hour, and that ended up being the filling for about half of them.  And they are pretty fucking good!  We'll do this again.
