For me, about a week and I usually cheat by sticking it in a barely warm (not hot) oven to jumpstart the process.. I imagine the air in New Mexico is quite dry so you'll have that advantage. A dry day and hot sun will do the trick.
If you've handles a piconcillo then you know what the end result should be like.

I also tried making brown sugar cubes for coffee They are much harder to make and mold by hand.

Thanks for the tip!
 
Very early NAs used a somewhat similar method. They pounded maize into coarse flour, made a thick paste with water, formed balls which they boiled until cooked. They then set them on something near the fire and hardened the outside.

I did that with yellow cornmeal and it worked like a charm, made corn bread which you could hold in your hand and eat.

Spence,
I like that idea!
Almost like pone-pemmican if you add chopped dried fruit like apples and/or those ground nut meats you mention.
Be good food to eat on the move

Enough boiling water to make a stiff dough

One side frying in vegetable oil on medium heat (bacon grease would work too)

Other side fying

Sprinkle with Sugar or Maple sugar and enjoy. Maple syrup works too as does a bit of cinnamon and/or fresh-grated nutmeg
