[@eriknervik9003]

@@needtoknow1989 I mean yes, I’m an ok cook and I still make errors like that. It takes a lot of skill, practice, and attention to detail to cook food “perfectly” It’s easy to cook something passable and I’ve made plenty of, we shall say, passable meals. It takes repeated practice to get every detail right. I spent years watching the egg station guy at a breakfast buffet make sunny side up eggs, my favorite style, and I would time him, watch how he set his burner, etc and even after that I can only get them right maybe 75% of the time.

[@benw9949]

For some of us, Tex-Mex food goes back to our earliest childhood memories, and I'm Anglo. I have never fixed homemade tamales, though. -- I can buy fresh frozen tamales at the grocery store from either a local (in-town) company or from a regional company (I think that one's based in San Antonio.) -- If you have never had real tamales, look for them online, or make some homemade. They are warm, hearty, homestyle favorites, and people will take them in their lunchboxes to work sites. -- Chicken, beef, or pork are the most usual fillings, but I've seen black bean (frijoles negros), spinach, and "roasted vegetable" tamales. (The roasted veggies are onions, bell peppers, and a mild pepper, maybe poblano, and a couple of other veggies. Tamales are a traditional family thing for many people for the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, where mothers and grandmothers, aunts, uncles, dads, grandfathers, and the kids all will help make them, and visit. Feliz Navidad a todos. It is part of the Southwestern and cowboy / vaquero tradition that formed this part of the country, from Texas to California. we are stronger together. Our differences are us richer, just like spices in cooking.

[@rickstir7144]

I gotta say, I'm Mexican and my mom makes tamales for us every Christmas and your video was dead on. Good job bud! Nothing beats a homemade tamal right out of the pot on a cold Christmas evening. Greetings from El Paso!

[@zeus136988]

Tamales Pro Tip: The following morning after making and eating tamales, have them for breakfast. Take the tamales out of the corn husks and place them on a medium-hot pan with some oil. Cook them for a few minutes on each side until they start to brown. This makes the masa get crispy, giving it a great texture. Serve them with a few fried eggs and some homemade salsa. Now you can have tamales any time of day.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

I do that every time and its so good

[@GalactusDaDevourer]

We have something very similar in Puerto Rico called Pasteles. We also make them a lot during Christmas and fill them with meats and other Caribbean ingredients. Only difference is our masa is made from plantains and are wrapped in plantain leaves and wrap them a second time with parchment paper and tie them up because we boil them instead of steaming, that way no water gets in. Always good with some hot sauce. Never had tamales before, but I sure will next time I get a chance. Saludos! To all our Mexican brothers and sisters!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Sounds good

[@donaldbeamer3563]

I had some of that plantain with red sauce and pork drppings over rice and or red kidney beans. Delicious. 1982 Killeen Texas, Borencan Music block Party. Roast pig on hot coals underground. An experience I'll never forget. ❤

[@donaldbeamer3563]

@@alg1335 It may have been green bananas, after punching holes in the bottom of a coffee can to use as a grater. We grated the green bananas/plantains and wrapped the grated substance into 3-4×2&half blocks with appeared to be corn husks. Might be another name for corn husk, but that's what I called em. Tied them off with cotton string one way and then the other and boiled in water for about 30 minutes. The time may be off a bit. Please forgive me It's been nearly 41 year ago.

[@Carlotheeus]

I saw the thumbnail, read the title and immediately imagined Taco Bell-style "Mexican food." I was going to write a negative review and just be plain ignorant. Sometimes, as a Mexican, I forget that stereotyping doesn't just happen one way; it goes many ways. Plus, it saddens me and angers me that many in the U.S. want my culture, but they don't want my people. 🤷‍♂️ I stuck the video out and guess what? Those tamales look very, insanely similar to the ones my mother makes. Then it dawned on me: I was going to leave a negative comment for a video done by a gentleman who is happily sharing in my culture and sharing my culture with everyone. This here gentleman is the kind of person we need more of nowadays. One who shares in, shares and enjoys other cultures. We are all, after all, as they say; human. Mr. Rollins, you have yourself another subscriber, amigo. Although I did not post a negative comment after all, I sincerely apologize for having stereotyped you.

Your show brought back memories of when I was kid and hot tamales were a MAJOR production around Christmas. We rendered down hog heads in large pots. I was one of the little helpers with a spoon smoothing the masa on the corn shuck. One of the tricks to waking up the camino and dried peppers was the slightly roast the spices in a skillet for a minute or two. It was an all day production that started before dawn and ended when I fell over from exhaustion. Some tamales were ckicken relleno, some had white raisins and peanut filling, but my favorite were the pork.

My mother and I make either Mexican or Salvadorian tamales. We make tamales from different flavors every Christmas eve. Your tamales look delicious and you are doing an excellent job making them. Thank you for showing everyone who isn't Mexican that there is more to our food than just tacos and burritos. You can make tamales with different fillings such as chicken with green salsa, cheese with jalapeno, sweet corn, sweet pineapple raisin tamales, Strawberry. This Christmas eve I made Mexican tamales with green salsa and strawberry tamales, my mother made chicken tamales with red salsa and cheese tamales.

Dont forget about Nacatamales!!!!! so yum!

[@blackdog850]

Brilliant Kent! My sister and I are from a Border Town and recently took the plunge and made about 3 dozen tamales. Green chile pork, beef with chili paste like you made here. So GOOD! Brought back so many memories of home & family! Thanks for sharing your talent! I have learned so much. Merry Christmas to you and the family! :)

[@generodriguez4941]

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you making tamales and embracing my culture. May the Lord continue to bless you and your Family. Your tamales look very good ! Checking in from Sparks, Nevada by way of San Jose, California and Guerrero, Coahuila, Mexico.

I’m water fasting for a week. On my fourth day now... somehow i can’t stop watching this channel. Definitely trying out the ones I saved after I break my fast properly which will take a week after I’ve finished my fast. Best cooking channel!!

I wish you well and thanks for watching

Cowboy Kent Rollins thanks CKR! By the way, made cowboy stew two weeks ago, one of the best stews I’ve had hands down. And shared it with my neighbors too! They loved it!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

So glad you enjoyed an thanks for sharing with the neighbors

[@reyruiz8484]

Fasting for a week? I've always heard it's unhealthy to do it longer then 3 days because on day 4 your body starts to break down muscle tissue for nutrients.

[@Yazagyo]

Rey Ruiz yes unless you have a severe colon issue and have been instructed to do this by a doctor, please reconsider! I work in anthropology/bio research, and any supportive science behind “cleanses and fasts” is sketchy at best. Buy and large, they’re terrible for the average person.

[@juanitavillarreal2152]

I’m Méxican and you did a pretty much auténtico tamales. I’m glad you didn’t put baking powder👌.

Papa I love the way you make the tamales it looks so easy and I'm going to do it your way I looked at everybody else but they I guess the pride is in there but you do it with pride too but it is a humble and loving caring home compassionate pride that you teach how to make it you make everyone feel at home thank you family for letting you teach us I know you have more I would love to see more of what you do in the kitchen I'm 65 years old I feel you for myself my mother died 2 years ago but I learned how to cook at 5 years old homemade macaroni and cheese you name it everything from scratch homemade banana pudding sweet potato pie lemonade collard greens but I love to cook other people's food especially this one Jamaican you name it this was the top of the pudding thank you Shalom God bless you may you stay strong and healthy and keep cooking from the heart

Raynard you beat me to it. I was thinking the same thing

[@rexfellis]

Raynard Ledford Kent has been on several Food Network shows. Throwdown! with Bobby Flay and Cutthroat Kitchen, both of which he won. Chopped Grill Masters where he came in 2nd place to Ernest Servantes. Chopped Redemption where he again came in 2nd. He was also a judge on Kids BBQ Championship-Cowboy Campfire. He was undefeated on NBC’s Food Fighters. Unfortunately, with wife Sharon by his side everywhere he goes, I don't think he's looking for another sidekick. Sorry man.

Well as a Mexican that learn from her grandmothers and mother how to make the tamales you Sir have taught me a different way to cook them! I love the fact the you weren’t afraid to make them so many people should learn from your recipe! Thank you so much for your way of cooking them the cowboy way! Merry Christmas to you and your family oh by the way I made 18 dozen out of bean with jalapeños, chicken with green sauce and pork with red chili’s just like yours this Christmas. Everyone always looks forward to the tamales and the hot spicy salsa on my husband side. 🤦🏽‍♂️👍🏼😂 oh and before I forget I use the lard after they fried the pork rinds it adds so much flavor to the meat and masa.

[@mouija1450]

Thank the Mexican traditions that were brought up north for Americans to enjoy tamales. I'd never heard of tamales growing up in New England, but I love them dearly after living in Denver for five years. My Mexican neighbors that I lived next door to made them for Christmas and Easter, and we'd trade ethnic platters during the holidays. My wife and I both grew up with Polish parents that passed down pierogi, golabki and borscht recipes. We'd bring a big aluminum tray of Polish leftovers to the Dominguez household and get a huge plate of pork tamales in return. I love tamales so much and dearly miss hanging out with that wonderful family.
