Tamales

Bring the warmth of Mexican traditions to your table with Tamales, a dish that’s as much about the process of making them as it is about eating them. Gather your loved ones for a tamale-making session and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups masa harina

  • 1/2 cup lard or shortening

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • Corn husks, soaked

  • Filling: shredded chicken or pork in red or green salsa

Instructions:

  1. Beat the lard until fluffy. Gradually mix in masa harina, baking powder, and broth to form a soft dough.

  2. Spread dough onto soaked corn husks, add filling, and fold.

  3. Steam tamales for 1–2 hours until firm and cooked through.

  4. Let cool slightly before unwrapping and serving.

Serving Suggestions:
