This is a nutritious and delicious Mexican soup, called a 'caldo'. It is too dense to be a soup, and is almost a stew, except the liquid hasn't been thickened. The flavours are deep and rich.

Mexican Pork Tamale Filling

Recipe by: APPLUVR

Reviews(5)

A tamale is a Mexican and Native American dish consisting of a soft cornmeal (masa) dough filled with meat, cheese or vegetables, then steamed. This recipe is for a flavourful pork filling. If you are making your own tamale dough, you may want to reserve 250ml of the stock before draining - it makes delicious tamales. You can always use this pork filling for tacos, burritos or enchiladas, as well.

Pork and spinach enchiladas

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Much of the delight of Mexican food is in the abundance of salad-type toppings that contrast so well with the hot ingredients. Although these enchiladas are made with less fat than usual, their character is preserved, with chilli powder, cumin and paprika in the sauce and maize flour or corn tortillas used as thickening.
