Easy Authentic Tamales That Anyone Can Make

After the countless suggestions, and since these are a common holiday recipe, it's time to finally make tamales. Turns out, I really think that homemade tamales are so easy that genuinely anyone could make them if they just show some love. Tender, perfectly moist, and perfect.

[@purplesax06]

For those who are seriously consider making these, a few more tips. *Go ahead & make the filling a day before, it makes the assembling easier. Even more important if you won't have multiple hands to help you. *You can use also use turkey, beef and chicken if that's what you have. *For maximum flavor in the filling, throw the filling & sauce back into a skillet & cook together. It just doesn't taste as good if you simply toss them together. *Also, add some chili sauce into the mass for added flavor 😋. Josh's is pretty blonde but ours come out nice & red. *It is important to have air bubble in your Masa. To check if you've mixed enough, have a glass of water & drop a spoonful to see if it floats. Once it does, you're good to go. *Yes the ties are extra work but it's worth it when you're putting them in the pot. It's a pain to be hassling with the tips getting in the way. *when cooking if you have a vegetable steaming tray, use it! If you don't you can use the extra bits of leaves, balled up foil paper, a trivet, or a combination to keep the tamales off the bottom of the pan or you'll burn them or make them soggy from the water. (Yes, I speak from experience.😳)

[@jonathanmartinez7371]

imma go ahead and say that making the filling a day before will be hard to keep fresh, even in the fridge, but if done right it can add a bit of flavor and keeping it fresh for tomorrow

[@purplesax06]

@@jonathanmartinez7371 not really. You'd be amazed on how chili preserves the flavor & we don't wait til the next night to make tamales, we start right after breakfast. For the most part everything has been prepared. The Masa is in a bowl already mixed, the leaves have been water overnight, and the workstation has been cleaned up. Traditionally this isn't a 30 minute meal. It's an involved event so nothing is going to stay in the fridge longer than overnight.

[@toothless3835]

I've done this a few days In Advance, making the fillings a few days before. Of it's gonna be longer than a day or two, freeze it. And take it out the day before you plan to make tamales so it can thaw I'm the fridge.

[@milviafelix4186]

I was going to talk abot the blonde tamales, but you pretty much covered it all. I'm from Sonora and for the most part we don't tie them. I love beef tamales and we add a slice of potato, carrot, jalapeños and RAISINS (very controversial topping) 😂🙃

Made it. Best thing I've ever eaten.

Here in Brazil we have a tamale's cousin, it's called "pamonha". It's close, but usually has cheese or sausage as filling and it's *thicker* (most of the times, at least were I live)

[@JM-zo5me]

“Tamales - from Papa - to you.” 😂😂 Made me laugh.

[@keinkommentar3025]

Being from Germany, getting all the ingredients but the pork sounds like a mission where u have to go to the moon xD

[@mihaelaskrabo1385]

I just wanted to ask if anyone knows which store in Germany sells corn husks 😂😂😅 also that flour would be nice so I can finally make proper tortillas as well

U can use chicken or beaf (they'll be a bit dry duo)

[@karlaavalosxc]

You can make tamales of chicken or whatever you want, you can usea vegetables too!

[@maikebaier8004]

I ate that in a small village in the north of Argentina. It was SO good wow

[@elsalisa146]

Thank you! Love how you used the plastic wrap! Spreading the masa always seemed like a major pain. You are my tamale Guru.

[@angelarias3395]

Bonus tip for those who make a bunch for leftovers you can fry these and they’ll taste amazing just use a salsa or sauce on the side cause they can get dry sometimes

"Melts in your mouth, not in your hand" M&M

[@acqaustin3430]

THANK YOU

[@TeamSlow]

Yeah, it may be a rap lyric, but LONG before that, a slogan for M&Ms.

[@libradagarcia5933]

I enjoy your videos and preparations. I think I love you man!

[@natedoglara]

Thanks for the video. My family makes them every year

[@JonBarton19]

"It'll melt in your mouth, not in your hand" "that's a rap lyric" Dude, I'm glad someone else recognizes the original M&M jingle as a rap anthem.

[@fernandaloaiza4741]

I've done that recently. Got pizza ingredients? Know how to fold a dumpling or empanada or pasty or any other hand pie? You're good to go!

Here in Brazil we have something called "pamonha", which is a delicious corn batter simmered in corn husks. It can be savoury (my favourite!) or sweet, and it's very common in the Minas Gerais region. ^^

[@jumanainthekitchen3756]

This looks soo yummy

[@ohdriizy5940]

Love the video! You should do “pasteles” it’s a similar thing but at the same time VEEEEERYYYY different. This dish is from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and theirs a lot a fans here that are from Puerto Rico I wish you make some puertorican food but specially “pasteles” and you will not be disappointed my man. Thanks for your video and thanks to you to give me motivation to start my small business and I heavily got influence by you ❤️

[@mushiat6530]

Do you have any videos you recommend on how to make them?

[@ohdriizy5940]

@@mushiat6530 i haven’t found a video with the exact receipt because many videos do it different but comes out the same. But obviously the flavor is diferente. You can look in YT “pasteles Puertorriqueños” and you can find different ways that people make them. I hope you can find a good vid. If you are in the Discord you can @ me there and I’ll gladly help out in something. ❤️
