  4. Cover pot, remove from heat, and let sit, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes to allow chiles to soften.

  7. Preheat oven to 250°.

  11. Place pork shoulder, pork belly, bay leaf, salt, and remaining chile purée (about 1¾ cups) in reserved pot.
  12. Bring mixture to a boil, cover pot, and transfer to oven.
  13. Braise pork until very tender and it shreds easily, 2–2½ hours.
  14. Let cool 15 minutes, then skim fat from sauce; discard bay leaf.
  15. Using a potato masher or a large fork, smash pork into sauce until meat is shredded and incorporated into sauce. Stir in vinegar; let cool.

  17. Do Ahead: Filling can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.

  19. Slap the top of masa with the palm of your hand, immediately pulling your hand back.
  20. If masa doesn’t stick and your hand looks shiny, the dough is ready.
  21. If masa sticks, add another 2 Tbsp. lard and knead until incorporated; repeat slap test.
  22. If masa still sticks to your hand, repeat process until you get there (another 2 Tbsp. lard should do it).

  24. Using your hands, swirl husks in water to loosen any silks or dirt.
  25. Drain, rinse, and shake off excess water.

  27. Measure 5" wide, then tear off any excess (hold onto the scraps; you’ll use them later).

  31. Spoon 2 heaping Tbsp. masa onto husk about 4" from the bottom.
  32. Using a putty knife, small offset spatula, or butter knife, spread masa into a thin, even layer, covering the width of the husk and about 5" up the length of the husk; leave the narrow end uncovered. If you mess up, just scrape off masa and start over.
  33. Repeat with remaining husks and masa.
  34. Keeping wide end closest to you, place 2 Tbsp. cold pork filling in the center of masa on each husk, forming a log that runs down the center.
  35. Fold 1 side of husk over filling, then fold other side over to cover.
  36. Holding tamale seam side up, fold narrow, pointed end of husk away from you and under tamale.
  37. Set on a rimmed baking sheet seam side up.
  38. Repeat with remaining tamales.

  41. Place ball in center of pot.
  42. Using ball as support, prop tamales upright, with folded end down and seam side facing up, around ball; this will take 4–7 tamales.
  43. Continue stacking tamales around the ball, leaning them against one another.
  44. Pour broth into pot, being careful not to get any inside tamales (broth should come about ¾" up sides of tamales).
  45. Bring liquid to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  46. Cover pot and simmer tamales, undisturbed, adding more stock as needed to keep some liquid in pot, 40 minutes.
  47. Remove a tamale from pot; let cool 3 minutes. (If you don’t let it rest before checking, masa will stick to husk and appear gummy.)
  48. Remove husk; if masa sticks to husk, it’s not ready.
  49. Carefully refold and return to pot. Cook 5 minutes more; check again.
  50. If husk peels back easily, tamales are done.
  51. Remove from heat, uncover, and let sit 10 minutes before unwrapping.
  52. Serve with salsa and lime wedges for squeezing over.
