Prepare the filling by roasting the onion and garlic, then blending with jitomate, comino, and cooked chicken.

In a large bowl, combine masa de maíz with caldo de pollo, water, salt, manteca de cerdo, and bicarbonato de sodio until a dough forms.

Cut the hojas de plátano into squares and place a spoonful of masa in the center of each.

Add the filling to the masa mixture and fold the banana leaves over the masa to form a packet, securing the edges.

Arrange the packets in a steamer basket and steam until cooked through.
