- 300 g Pork shoulder(finely diced)
- 1 medium Onion(finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic(minced)

- 0.5 tsp Oregano

👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Prepare the filling: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced pork and cook until browned. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened.
- 2
Stir in the achiote powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 3
Prepare the masa: In a large bowl, combine the corn masa with enough chicken broth (or water) to form a soft, pliable dough. It should not be sticky. Season with a pinch of salt.
- 4
Assemble the bollos: Lay out a piece of wilted plantain leaf. Place a portion of masa in the center and flatten it into a disc. Spoon some of the meat filling onto the masa disc.
- 5
Fold the masa over the filling to enclose it, forming a rectangular parcel. Wrap the parcel tightly with the plantain leaf, securing it like a small package. Repeat with the remaining masa and filling.
- 6
Steam the bollos: Place the wrapped bollos in a large steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 1 hour, or until the masa is firm and cooked through.

Remove from steamer and let rest for a few minutes before unwrapping and serving hot.
