I’ve never made them this way. Seems so much easier. Tip: When making your carne, pour that extra water with chicken seasoning in there, once the carne is cooked you’ll have extra caldo to mix your masa with. Gives the masa much more flavor!

Thanks Maria! And yes, that's definitely a great tip for maximizing the flavor of the masa. We did that in an earlier video, but left it out in this one, since we were going for the true "fastest" - - but definitely go that way if you have the time 🤗

I never prepared them myself but as a young teenager, I helped my parents grate the masa. After I got cut, that was my cue to stop. I watched my parents prepare these a whole day, especially before Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. They didn't use any food processor...it was all muscle powder...they're delicious as long as the masa is right and the filling is tasty. Thank you for this video.

How did it go?!

I'm half PR and learning about my culinary heritage and discovering that pasteles like tamales are such a wonderful dish where no person/family/establishment will make them the same. You can try someone's traditional family pasteles and they will be so different than the ones you get at a bodega or from a random abuelita who is working from a generations-old recipe. I'm chasing the high of finding the PERFECT pasteles for my palate, but in the process trying them from so many different locations has been amazing. All I can say is CHERISH the recipes and the makers of these amazing foods because all the little details of how they are made could be lost if no one is there to absorb them and hand them down. There is no McDonald's or Taco Bell version of pasteles that will diminish the idea of what they can be. You have to get them from the source

Thank you for this tutorial! My mom returned home from PR this summer after being quarantined in Humacao during Covid. We we planning on a pasteles making lesson so we could all learn from her officially. Unfortunately she passed about 6 weeks later. I feared the recipe and her method would be lost forever. Your video reminded me of the steps we helped her and Popi with. He was in charge of cutting and seasoning the meat. I help grind the veg with a box greater (ugh). The process improved 100x with the addition of a new food processor! The frozen pre-ground masa is a Godsend! I'll get the two types and mix them together. We always made stacks of pairs and had them in the freezer -- yes, close to the 100 you mentioned. Please come back with more content! Felicidades y Gracias!

So very sorry about your mom :(

I have never had Pasteles before, but I grew up in west Africa and I was struck with how this dish reminds me of fufu, which is made with a number of different starches, including plantain & yuca, and a dish called moinmoin which are black eyed pea batter steamed in banana leaves. I was so excited about this dish, and we went to two Asian grocery stores and a Hispanic one trying to find the ingredients. We found the frozen grated yuca at all three stores. We did not find the frozen green banana and plantain mixture, so we bought those fresh. So never having had this dish before, I would’ve liked more explanation about what the masa should look like before it’s cooked and also the finished texture to know what it should look and taste like, And I was also left wondering, why is this dish boiled instead of steamed like tamales? I would love it if you would explain that, ours ended up a little waterlogged, maybe we did not roll them as tightly as we should have or maybe the mixture was just not as firm as it should have been, I really have no idea. At the end of the day, our dinner was edible but I wasn’t blown away and I was disappointed after spending half a day working on it. Again, if you could give more tips to people who have never tasted the dish before, that would be appreciated.
