The other day I made some extra meat so I froze it for just the right meal.
Today I woke up and thought "hmmmmm, I think I want some tamales"
So, I started making them about 1pm with my friend Krisha.....
By the time they were done, it was 10:30p.
I am sure it doesn't normally take so long to do a few dozen tamales, however, I steamed them in two batches and also took a small break in between, and also made a carrot cake in the middle of it all....
I was a bit busy. So when there is tamales on the brain, the problem it causes it,
an all day tamale-thon...my back hurts now! ha ha.
mixing the masa. there is no real recipe... it does take chicken broth, chili powder, salt and garlic powder
Spreading the masa, it is a technique that only a few can conquer.
Here is Krisha and me....being conquerors.I have made tamales several times, this was her first time, and she did fantastic!!
The loot.
Steaming the tamales
After I made Mexican rice, refried beans, and meat chili sauce, we had a finished product...
and yes, you should be jealous.
