Here in Central California it's mostly pork. My father-in-law is from Chihuahua, and taught me his techniques. We usually buy the masa, but make everything else, including the sauce. When we run out of pork, we simply insert a roasted chili pepper and cheese. We tend to make a lot.
In New Mexico, USA, where I am, the most popular filling by far is red chile pork. Green chile/cheese, which often has fresh corn mixed into the filling, is popular too. And chicken filling and black bean filling make appearances now and again. Beef-filled tamales are on most restaurant menus here, made with either shredded or ground beef, but I don’t see people making those at home.
