Red Chile Chicken Tamale Bowl TEST

Meet Factor’s light and tangy take on a tamale bowl. We start with a masa corn cake made from masa harina flour, corn kernels and buttermilk. For protein, chicken thighs are brined and marinated with ancho and guajillo chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin and coriander, cooked until tender and shredded. Then, the chicken thighs get mixed with a red chili sauce, made from three types of chili powders, aromatics of onion and poblano, tomato paste and cilantro. Lastly, we crumble queso fresco on top for a light and fresh element. On the side, we serve Mexican-spiced diced sweet potatoes, red onions and red bell peppers that are plated over top of a pickled jalapeno crema! Plated below the sweet potatoes is a pickled jalapeno crema made from sour cream, pickled jalapenos and fresh cilantro.
