Guys!! I've been waiting all year to share this recipe with you. It's a Christmas tradition for my family and I and trust me, they are AMAZING and you will not miss out on the real thing. Thank you so much for joining me today (and my mom, she's so cute in the back). We love you guys and please let me know what other recipes you want next. Do you want different types of tamales? 💗

Yes I made it exactly how she made it, the only difference is that I used a different meat. Oh and for the dough at the end I ended up adding a little bouillon and cumin. I made about 30 tamales, but I still had leftover meat. It was my first time wrapping a tamale so they were a little small 🤭They were small but very tasty and flavorful

This Texican gal feels this. You ain't gotta be Mexican from Mexico to enjoy Tamales. But Christmas for us is definitely the time that we spend in the kitchen making all of our favorite foods because it is not usually hot. Although this year, it is 75 at night and humid. I still have tomatoes growing 😆 You know what else is good? Fajitas, a big ass pot of frijoles, grilled tortillas, salsa and sipping on that Don Julio and dancing until you fall over. 👌 Girl, enjoy this time of year and eat what ever you want and celebrate it BIG !

[@kathleendexter5999]

Thank you so much for answering an unspoken prayer. I was just discussing this very topic in a recent conversation regarding traditional family recipes that are linked with the celebration of our Savior’s birth. The “many hands” makes for quick work. I recalled the aromas of my Tia Eva’s kitchen in Corpus Christi, Texas when my father took us down there for a family reunion. I have Barrera, Trevino and Dominguez in my bloodline when my grandmother fell in love with a tall, angular, ivory-skinned Irish man fresh off the boat. They had sixteen (16) children. My father had many, many stories but his favorite were of helping his mother in the kitchen. When I was watching you, I was thinking you are so lovely to do this for all of us out here wishing we could enjoy the foods of our memories but avoid the issues of diet-related illnesses such as T2 Diabetes, cancer, heart disease and more. Muchos Gracias, my dear! You asked for suggestions, so here are mine: 1.) Cube the pork shoulder while the salted bone roasts in your 500 degree Fahrenheit oven for 25 minutes 2.) Season with salt before pan-searing the cubes of pork shoulder, fat-side down to render out the fat and crisp the exterior. The Maillard Reaction of the caramelizing fat and meat will give an intense flavor to the puerco. 3.) Toast the dried chilis in a dry skillet over medium heat to release the oils and deepen their flavor. 4.) Place the golden brown pork bone and the chunks of seared pork in your pressure cooker with the pan jus. 5.) Pan Jus: Use the drippings from the pan-seared pork to sauté the onion and garlic before deglazing the fond in the skillet with warm water. 6.) The cooking time will be MUCH shorter since it’s in much smaller pieces. 7.) Remove the chunks of soft pork to a bowl before adding the toasted chilis in the resultant broth in the cooker before blending with a stick blender. Taste for seasoning (add your cumin, salt and pepper at that time). 8.) Pour over your pork and stir to quickly shred the meat into the sauce. I love the fact that you used fathead dough as your masa. I had been watching that pan of cornbread on your stove thinking you’d use it to become the basis of your masa as that’s what I plan to do. I use a 50/50 portion of CarbQuik and almond flour with baking powder, corn extract (Amoretti’s), salt, eggs and melted lard to make a big batch in a hot cast iron skillet (browning the bottom into a yummy crust). Afterward, grind it up and combine it with the melted cheeses for a much more dense and flavorful masa. This was a labor of love on your part and I cannot thank you enough. We’ll all do things the way we learned it but to make it Keto, you’re right...we have to do things a little differently. May God Bless you and your entire family for this wonderful gift you’ve shared with us all! Feliz Navidad! ❤️🙏🎄

Hola mayra, for mexican families tamales is a tradition that goes back for generations, I'm thankful that you are sharing your recipes with the low carb community, I have tried a lot of other recipes but none that are worth to make again, soo my only question is about the flavor of the masa most of the other recipes I have made end up with the masa being a bit sweet and that is a bomber for me, I'm one of those people that can eat tamales and cafe for bkfst every day! I'm still in search of a low carb recipe that will replace the traditional tamales! Thank you for all your hard work and all the amazing recipes you provide for us😊😊😊

[@sararosales3220]

What other recipes have you tried for the masa if you dont mind sharing so i wont even try it.

[@marthasanchez3992]

Hola Sara Rosales , the most recently pinche nancy delight with gabby ketolicious kitchen and others but cant remember their website, let me just say they were all flavorful and different techniques to make, but for me I still tasted the sweet from the almond flour and I suppose that this tamales that Myra made have the same sweet taste to them since she did not responded to my question! I'm sure that for some people the flavor of the meat compensate for the flavor of the masa but not for me and I probably will never get used to the sweet flavor of the almond flour in tamales, last year I came across a recipe for tamales grinding some low carb tortillas (susalia) to be more precise and they are awesome but not for everyone they will be lowcarb but not keto. Coby Byerly is her youtube website

[@pattim5824]

@@marthasanchez3992 I was wondering if the almond flavor would come out too. Would the almond taste decrease by increasing the Manteca and removing the cream cheese help as well as swapping bouillon with meat broth (it's a waste of broth if not)? I'm sure that would change macros but for the better. Add broth to the dough? Also, Manteca normally needs to be whipped until meringue'd so the tamales are fluffy.

[@marthasanchez3992]

@@pattim5824 Hola Patti M, I have tried different techniques from adding ground pork rind to manteca de puerco,pork broth adding spices to the flour at the end I still tasted the sweetness of the almond flour a few days ago I made a recipe for gorditas using some psyllium husk and cream cheese and I think it masked the flavor a bit the recipe was for arepas but I called it gorditas is the same thing, so I think for us Mexicans replacing almond flour for maseca it will be one of the biggest challenges for us, I got used to the almond flour for baking because we add sugar to everything but almond flour for savory doesn't work for me! I have tried making tamales,gordita and tortillas and let me say for some people all those recipes are awesome but for us people we grow up eating maseca we have the taste of the corn flour infused in our taste buds!! I want to experiment adding some maseca to the almond flour to see if that will change the flavor to the almond flour, I know it will not be keto but it will be low carb with much less calories then the real tamales I think I will try 1-2 Tbsp of maseca per 1 C.almond flour to see how it works, if you make myras tamales let me know how it turned out, mucha suerte y Feliz Navidad !!!!

So, I finally made these…took me all day! I don’t like too much spice, so I took out a couple of the spicer chiles, and added in a large one of the milder ones. The pork mixture turned out great! My husks were small pieces, which made it hard to wrap them, and some came open when steaming. I wasn’t too fond of the texture, but after putting them in the air fryer and crisping them up some, they were amazing! Next time I’ll make the meat mixture the day before so it’ll go quicker! 💖

[@coachaltagracia1746]

I don’t like things too spicy. If I were buying salsa in a store I would stick with mild to medium spice level. Did your substitution of chiles make it more like a medium spice level? Can you clarify which types you removed (and how many) and what type you added (and how many). I’m COMPLETELY clueless about peppers.🤣 I was wondering how spicy her recipe is. Love the suggestion to make the pork mixture the day before. Thank you so much for your comment. And reply back to me if you give one. 🙏🏻😁

[@coachaltagracia1746]

Also loved the suggestion about the air fryer. Did you remove them from the husks first before air frying?

I spent most of the day up to my elbows in tamale fixings. My kitchen is ridiculously small. I just had two of them for dinner. WOW! They were really good! Thanks for bringing tamales back into my diabetic life.

Omg, this is everything I’ve dreamed of lol! -Em

[@LowCarbLove]

Haha you're so sweet 😊I can't wait for you both to make it!

Tried this recipe. Taste and texture is darn almost identical! Equally delicious! Some tips: 1) I used the water from canned corn, with half the kernels to steam the tamales (and added water of course).. This added corn flavor and probably catbs, but I justify this that these are still probably significantly less carbs that the real deal. 2) The cheese adds a lot of salt. If I were to do this again I would add the chicken buoillion only and incrementally add the remaining salt and perhaps omit the salt altogether. 3)I used melted butter to spread on the corn husks instead of lard. If I were to do this again, I’d use unsalted butter. This added a bit more salt than I would’ve liked but worked great and added a nice flavor. Thank you sooo much for this recipe! This is officially my most favorite keto dupe recipe! Sooooo so good! I don’t even think there’s much of a difference.

Your mom is beautiful! Love her on the video, and you are so pleasant to watch, you should have your own tv show! Great job!

[@monicalemmer5458]

My mom made them on New Years Eve when all the aunts etc would come to the tamalada…she got away from using a hogs head (yuk) and used a Boston butt pork roast. Soaked the corn husks and made the masa, seasoned with chili powder, home made, salt etc…the meat would literally fall apart. Chili ancho. Miss those times…

[@Banannna228]

Omg I'm dying to eat this! I LOVE tamales! And my family gathers at my grammas every Christmas Eve for tamales, rice and beans. This year I don't think it's going to happen because of Covid and it's so depressing. This video is great and looks so close to the real thing. It lifted my spirits. Thank you! I will definitely try this recipe soon. My favorite is also rajas con queso! Lastly I love how you say tama-leez, just like me and my fam LOL!

[@sykotikmommy]

My husband is going to be so happy! Now I've gotta find everything needed, so I can make these.

[@theresadelagarza66]

So eager to try this out! I haven't been able to eat, much less cook, tamales for the past 20 years because of a corn sensitivity. Had been wanting to try our family's traditional pork filling with a masa typical of Puerto Rican pasteles, but then I went keto. Now, I have renewed hope! Still not sure I'll risk a reaction to the corn husk, but there's always the southern Mexican tamale on banana leaves! Muchisimas gracias! 🥰

[@ivimarie1]

Omg I have been looking for traditional but keto style way of cooking tamales with the red sauce and pulled pork. Thank you soooooo much! Excited to make these!

[@jgomez9342]

[@joycehock5366]

I am so happy! I used to live in Phoenix with many Latina friends. They made tamales and I fell in love. Now I'm eating keto and will be making these. Thank you to you and your mama.

[@jherriot24019]

[@irmapena4923]

[@juanaortiz1815]

I’m definitely making these this weekend and then again for Christmas!!! My birthday is the 23rd of December so that’ll be my excuse for making them twice!!! 😂

[@tracyrussell4116]

Listened to this one year ago- got too give it a try. I have been collecting the chilies (I don’t know if I found all of the chilies)and the corn husks! I presently live in Alaska, I’m Southern California born and raised, lived in Costa Mesa, my brother even lived in Downey. Thanks a gazillion!

[@tasst2674]

First your mom is adorable. Second, it is wonderful you cook with her. Third I am halfway through a 48 hour fast and this is making me so hungry. Finally, how spicy is this as I am a heat wimp.? Thanks so much and happy holidays!

[@albeeinla]

I wish these were avail in retail. Looks yummy. Thanks for sharing.

[@brittlife6529]

Oh my God, I was literally just thinking about whether or not you could make tamales keto. You made my day. How well do you think these would freeze.

[@TheTerrasierra]

I want to know how they freeze as well

[@justmedee1959]

@@TheTerrasierra No problem freezing after fully steamed. I wrap tight in foil. Will last about 6 months in freeze.

[@ruthrelyea7388]
