White boy from Kansas here, made these last week and they were absolutely delicious. I used LARD, my hispanic co-workers told me best tamales ever, especially liked the masa. This was my first time ever in my 57 years making tamales, I was raised by my white mom and Mexican step-father, mom made tamales and all Mexican food constantly. Today I'm making Claudia's "Feed a family of 6 tamales" using pork, and adding a cup of green chile salsa to the masa. Thank you so much Claudia, I'll be buying your cookbook for family and friends, and myself. Wishing you continued success.

True..traditionally they are made using lard but people can substitute non salted butter, cream cheese but just won't be the same.

As a non pork eater thank you for taking the time to do this. Love your channel and congrats on your new book!

Our religion prohibits the consumption of pork and it’s so hard to find good recipes that show you how to substitute correctly. Thank you SO much for being considerate of your viewers that have different restrictions or diets. I appreciate this SO much!!! 🙏💕

Same. We are Messianic Jew and don’t eat pork. I substitute pork with beef in every recipe and honestly the food tastes better. I also use Crisco Vegetable shortening instead of lard.

Thank you !!!!!! I’m a Muslim Mexican I appreciate you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thank you so much for this recipe!! Tamales are my favorite and I stopped eating pork for years now to better my health but I never knew a good alternative for lard and this is perfect!

Vegetable shortening and all vegetable oils are so bad for you! Animal fat is now known to be ok, butter over margarine. I’ll make mine like my GMa taught me with Manteca-lard! Going to try your recipe! ❤

Claudia I saw you make this in your IG and I was hoping you would upload it here on KZread!! You are my favorite!! I’m so glad I found you and I love your cookbook ❤

Lard is literally 1 ingredient pig fat, veg oil is Industrial heavy equiptment lubricant......I made my own Lard recently when we got a huge Boston butt, it was like 4 cups of Lard for penny's and its snow white clean delicious healthy Lard. People shld really make their own it's literally 1 ingredient and so healthy and what our ancestors really used, not store Lard filled with tons of other crap.

My wife is a vegetarian, so I've had to adjust how I make tamales. I use veg oil/shortening and veg broth now so I don't have to make two separate batches of masa. Especially since I mix the masa by hand.

Wow Claudia, You make it look so Easy! I just got an insta pot, been dying to try tamales in it. Thank You so Much! U R Special❤🧑‍🍳to us All👍

These are my favorite type of tamales and we always use vegetable shortening since we have pork allergies in my house and they always come out delicious. I will have to get one of those intant pots to cut down on time. Great video and happy Friday!!!!

Thank you! A no pork eater here and have made them before with beef and tallow instead of lard. I really want to try your recipe.

Yum! these look so delicious and not too difficult. Thank you, Amiga! ❤

I made the beef recipe with beef tallow cause I don’t eat pork and they were so bomb I’m def trying this one I also have the insta pot max 6qt so I had to make some changes and cook longer but the meat flavor was on point!

Hi Claudia, I made your red beef instant pot tamales for Thanksgiving and it turned out amazing! First time I ever made tamales. My only question is, if your masa mix doesn't float how do you fix it? Mine didn't float but it turned out good anyways haha. Thanks for the great recipes!

7 ай бұрын

Awe I’m so glad you enjoyed them ☺️♥️ if your masa don’t float could be 1- it needs to be mixed linger( the mixing process is to create air on the masa this makes it light and fluffy) 2- it needs more fat but if you using the ingredients in recipe this can not be it so it could probably be 3- needs more liquid, I would add 1 tbsp of broth/water then mix for 3 minutes test again but careful because of course you do not want your masa to be runny, I know altitude and weather has alot to do with how much liquid your masa can take so just trust the process and don’t get frustrated in the process ☺️ whenever you feel like after mixing for 20 minutes your masa is not where it supposed to be at , you can always send me a picture or video if your masa and I will help you right away ☺️ the taste is going to be delicious but the texture is different 😅

Once again looks so good 👻

Perfect tamalas❤

This recipe is a win for me as I don't eat pork.

DELICIOUS, Claudia! I was going to ask if I can use the fresh masa from carnicería the same as Maseca? Same amount in cups? Thank you for sharing this recipe, I have a friend who doesn't eat red meat or pork due to religion, and this is perfect with vegetable shortening. Thank you again for thinking of our non beef/pork eaters. I'm so making these to share with her only with Maseca this time cause carnicería masa usa manteca. 😊😉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 P.s. I REALLLLLY hope you respond. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻😊

mmmm so good

Hello, thank you for this recipe. I made them today, all went well, except at the 45 min mark when done, they weren’t done. I have them back in for another 30 min. Wondering if i did something wrong…. Thank you. Mrs. Ponce

Dear Claudia, will you please make a beef red Chile version. Btw, you look amazing. Love from Texas!💝🙏

Do you peel the garlic head before cooking and blending? Or do you blend the whole thing? I was confused about that part

I can only make tamales with Claudia! Haven’t eaten any from others that can compare ❤ 👸

Where did you purchase the steamer rack?♥️

Another amazing looking recipe! please forgive my ignorance, but if my masa doesn’t float, how would I correct it?

LOVELY THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜

Just a question - what do you do if the masa test fails? Add more liquid?

Where did you get that steamer rack?

Where did you get the steamer attachment for the instant pot?
