Adding some of the cooked juice into the masa while kneading, gives it color instead of a bland beige look and gives it more flavor too. Also, I would add a teaspoon of the dry masa into the pot while meat is cooking. It gives it a gravy texture and makes the filling meat less dry.

I once made tamales. Followed an excellent recipe. 8 hours later I had succeeded. And my kitchen looked like a disaster. I ran out to get some Coronas and limes to enjoy my feast. Tired, I walked into a local neighborhood latin store. They had piles of tamales wrapped for 50 cents a piece. I immediately opened one and stared. They looked beautiful! And fifty cents!!! I laughed. Exhausted. I spent 8 hours making tamales and here they were easily found for Pennies. They even tasted awesome too. Lol last time I ever made my own tamales.

Story of my life lol. I stopped buying when I heard about a lady making the masa mix in her bathtub :/ I’ve seen people make it in their sink 😵‍💫

Try using guajillo in the masa instead of chili powder. Doing that lets you decide the "lighter" or "darker" "color" of the tamal. soak them then blend them in a little liquid from the soak then mix with the masa. Ours are a golden color tamal unless we omit the coloring which is usually with chicken making them "blanco" tamals. People love them. Thanks for the video.

If you have a stand mixer, the paddle attachment will make fast work of shredding the beef! This video made me so hungry!

i love this guy my husband is mexican and loves tamales haha to much work but this guy has a great technique

Never heard or seen this dish before, I'm Irish nearly 40 and never been on a plane,furthest iv been is to England and that was on a boat 🤣🤣🤣🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 I really need to start traveling

They are a staple around Christmas in Texas and other Southwest states. Not to be confused with Central American style tamales, which are in my opinion bland, and are steamed in banana leaves instead of corn husks.

My friend, do it, and if you ever get to southern Ca. or into Southern Mexico, give Carne en Su Hugo a try. A mom and pop place or a family run joint. You will NOT be dissappointed.

As simple as all that might be, adding broth to the masa instead of water brings flavor to it. Also, when it comes to the masa if it doesn't float in cold water it's not a tamale...

@JonnyDoe1776

Tried making tamales for the first time from another recipe that requires the masa to float. It said that if it doesn't float add more broth to the mixture. WHAT??? 2 1/2 hrs later I had runny masa and no float! Even though my middle school science was telling me that broth won't float I did what she said. I finally gave in to my intuition. I took out about half of the mixture, added more masa flour to thicken it back up and started adding more lard. VIOLA! FINALLY! Floating masa balls! Yet, I still see some recipes that say add more broth! Smh - it's like they want you to fail.

Thank you!! I love your videos! Keep the amazing beef recipes coming! 😋

i use red and green enchilada sauce (depending on the filling I'm using.. red for beef and pork, green for chicken) in place of guajillo chile salsa. helps save you time and sanity and they come out delicious!! thanks for the instant pot method, it's not incredibly represented on youtube!!

Thank you. This saves me well over 8 hours

I really like the pace of these videos. Right to the point, well done.

Thanks for the recipe! I am going to try my hand at making some.

Absolutely awesome, can’t wait to try this out 👌👌👌

His meat and masa ratio is perfect for me!

Oh hell these look great! now im going to have to go buy an instant pot!

You guys have to try the Panamanian Tamales, awesome recipes

Отличный рецепт ☺️🔥👌🏻

One thing when I've done mine in the past is that they seemed a bit gooey or over saturated. So I would just put them on a baking sheet in the oven for a few minutes to withdraw some of the extra moisture and it's perfect

Every time you "cut corners" in anything you do, especially food, the results and taste will not be the same. It's more than traditions, it's the taste that counts.

@joerivas9847

Probably added to much liquid while cooking. If doing the traditional way, only enough broth/water to steam them. I would assume in an instapot the same. Put unused ojas on top as well as on bottom.

i have never used the instapot for this but i ALWAYS use the juice from my pork instead of water for the maza. might have to give this a try though!!!

That's very delicious!!! MMMMMMM! I need another one with Hot Sauce this time 🤣😂👌🏿

8:07 No, the instapot will not make this a less than hour-long process as suggested here. you've got two points in this process where you're naturally venting the steam. that adds a LOT of time. plus, you've got a 40 and then an 15 minute pressure cook cycle. You're in for a few hours here unless you're using 2 pots.

Nice

I'm hoping to get an instant pot in the January sales. If not, then February. I'm bookmarking this recipe, it's going to take my new instant pot's virginity. Looks amazing.

James, it's the only way your going to lose it

It says 'look for recipe in description' but I can't find the description!!!!!!! Trying to find the spices in the small cup about 2:43 minutes. If anyone can help, much appreciated

Looks like I need to get an insta pot. Only thing I would differently would be to strain the sauce, just me do not like pepper skin.

we usualy put another piece to close the orher end as well, both end should look the same

Masa needs to be worked until a pinky sized piece floats in water. You can work it by hand and get a workout or put it in the stand mixer for 5-8 minutes. Adding some of the cooking broth to the masa adds flavor too.

That masa is Much to thick. I spread it thinner and the meat to masa ratio is much more pleasant.

When he put the butta instead my soul left my body

You can use cooking oil if not using lard or butter in the masa. Make the masa fluffy and spreadable with a spoon . I'd suggest not using hot water in the masa. Use enough oil or lard in the masa It makes for softer fluffier better tasting tamales

That beef juice should have been added to your masa instead of all water. You want your dough to have flavor

Use lard. Veg oil has been found to be bad for you, due to how its processed. Nobody I know adds cinnamon. We add the stock to the masa, small amount reserved for the meat. With the ojas/husks, spread the masa on the SHINY side of the husk, it will stick to the rough side , leaving behind masa and looking like the tamale has road rash. Spread that dough almost to the edges of the oja. The way you are doing it most of the juice is going to cook right out, encase the meat in masa. Making tamales sure brings back memories of my mom, nana, sisters, and aunts at Christmas time. Other than that video is good. My Bil made a 8 GALLON pressure cooker ( He;s a certified welder/fabricator.) We would get together and make tens of DOZENS of tamales, in about half the time.

Question for anyone with experience making tamales. If I were making batches to freeze for a rainy day would it be better to freeze them once he first wraps them in the corn husks or after he cooks them all the way?

Cook them all the way, and if you have a vacum sealer, freeze them. What I do is place them in the vac bag, into the freezer about a half hour or so, lets the liquid semi freeze, that way when you vacum the bag and seal it , the machine doesnt suck up liquid and cause a bad seal. if you dont have a vac sealer, buy one. You can save tamales about 6 months that way. I love a tamale in the morning with a sunny side egg on top with some good strong coffee. P.S. I have found uncooked masa tends to fall apart after they have been thawed.

Yup!!! Around here you have to place your order for masa at least a week before you pick it up. ( around Christmas time)They get swamped with masa orders.

Guys, I get it you guys wanted to modernize it, but Maseca tamales are awful. It will never beat the fresh ground corn used on traditional tamales. Specially young corn that adds a really sweet flavor to it.

it's sweet because they add sugar to it

This is a great recipe but as someone from the Mexico border hearing this guy say "tamales" over and over again was like driving nails into my ears

Butter? Ewwwwwwwww. Use a spoon to spread it, glad my grandmother showed me how to make them from scratch it’s a huge difference. Tip if you let them sit in the fridge a day or two then fry them in a bit of oil, crispy outside and nice and soft inside. Good in the am with coffee

High for 40 mins. Sure that's not a typo?

I'd stop at 5:48 and just eat the meat. One reason I am a bad cook

Beef Tamales? never heard of them...

I saw the title for this video, and was confused: ‘Why would you put marijuana in tamales?’

I’m sure this is good but the way you say tamales made me want to change vid right away just a heads up
