  4. Mix the whole with a whisk and then by hand.
  5. Pour in the broth and mix with a spatula until it reaches a hummus-like thickness.
  6. Pat a corn husk dry and place it on a piece of butcher's plastic wrap.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of batter onto the corn husk and spread it out.
  8. Mix some creamy chipotle sauce through the pulled pork and place it on the batter.
