  • Tamales! Tamales! This is your detailed step-by-step recipe. I walk you through the process of making tamales in a Mexican home. Tamales are a corn masa (Dough) that is spread on a soft corn husk and filled with your choice of protein and traditional fillings. Once the Tamales are steamed get ready to unfold into a warm soft flavor combination that will bring comfort food to another level of deliciousness. Make sure to discard the corn husk after consuming it. I hope you enjoy the views family take on tamales. I always recommend making it comfortable for your home. Lots of love, Stephanie, Cloud, and the views family.

    I remember my first experience with Tamales. It was a act of kindness I will never forget. I had started working in a tomato cannery when I was only 16 years old. I didnt have any money for gas and it was too far to drive everyday so I was stranded at work until I received my first paycheck. I slept in my car and ate canned tomatoes of all kinds for almost a week and a half. We were working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week. I was sleeping in my car one day and I was woke up with the sound of children playing. I looked in the dirrection of the laughter and noticed the children were laughing and pointing at me in my car. A older Spanish Man came out and rounded the children up and made them go inside. I fell back asleep. A few hours later I was woke up again with a knock on my window. I looked over and seen the same Man and Children standing outside my car. I rooled down my window and was met with the most amazing smell. The Man handed me a plate full of food and walked away without saying a word. The next Child sepped up and handed me lemon aid and the next Child had spoons and forks. I was so hungry for real food at that time I could have ate without anything at all. I was so flattered by this act of kindness and I must say it changed my life. I am a better person today because of this example and I always keep my eyes open for others in need.

    My favorite part besides eating tamales was being around my aunts, uncles and many cousins. I also realized that there was a heirarchy. The adults and older cousins got to place the meat in the corn husks while the younger cousins were the masa spreaders. Very fond memories. And also, just hearing Spanish and English going back and forth.

    I made tamales for the first time a couple years ago, I live next to the border of Mexico so I'm very familiar with the flavor and types of tamales, anyhow... I made 7 dozen by myself and I used my Instant Pot to cook them in. I could fit about 30 tamales in the pot at one time and cook them in about 30 minutes. I also used Crisco instead of lard since we don't eat pork and I also used the water test but I read that if the masa sinks, then add a little more shortening until it floats and that's what I did. I also used my KitchenAid stand mixer to mix the prepared masa with the Crisco but only after I whipped the shortening first which is basically what you did in the bowl. Like you, I added papas and an olive. My tamales came out fantastic and everyone raved about them. I might make more this December.

I grew up in Az about 80 miles from the Mexico border Yuma, Az/Algondonas, Mexico. We know real Mexican food and it's hard to find it here in Oregon where we live now. If I can master your recipe, I could make some serious cash. We've searched high and low for good tamales, but never have had any luck finding the kind we like. I will let you know how it goes after we make our first batch. Love listening to you and your sister chatting with your Moma.

    The first recipe that I ever use for making tamales came from the teachers Sunday school manual. That was before we had UA-cam Google and other items to do research with.
    It was my turn to teach Sunday school and the missions part of it was for Central America. They had several different recipes to choose from in the missions booklet. I chose tamales because I enjoyed eating them when I used to live in Texas. Now live in Georgia.
    I'm going to try your way of softening up the lard and adding the Masa. Of course the recipe said to use a mixer to mix it all. So I want to try something more traditional, because I found out that's the way I like my Mexican food. Tex-Mex is okay but it's not true Mexican food. I appreciate the fact that you used the shredding of the meat instead of like some people I've seen using hamburger meat.
    I learned that true chili it has no meat in it. Someone wanted to argue with me. I told them to go to the library and research it on traditional Mexican foods. They came back telling me that they were amazed that true chili does not have meat in it.
    I also have to remind people that just because Latinos live south-of-the-border does not mean that they are all Mexican. You have to remind them that there are other countries south of Mexico. And that they wouldn't appreciate being called British or Canadian or Australian just because they speak English.

I creamed the lard, then added the masa , then the broth and blended well. Did the water test. It floated! I cooked to test the flavor. It was perfect. Thank you.

    Hi there! FIRST This was the first time ever I made Tamales! Your step by step directions are spot on! In your video you said, if you can make the masa in your stand mixer I want to know how. Well, I injured my hand, had to have stiches so I used my 6Qt Bowl Professional Kitchen aide mixer. This is what I did. I put the shortening in the bowl with the whisk attachment and let that puppy fly! I beat it until it had the consistency of yours, that took about 5 - 10 minutes on high, stopping to scrape down the sides. I then added my masa dough a little at at time, with a little of the broth, making sure it was smooth before adding more. This step took about 15 minutes. I checked periodically with the "float" test. They came out fluffy, soft and FULL of Flavor. My grandson (13 months) had 2, and my daughters and husband are having an early dinner, because they can't wait. THANK YOU for a WONDERFUL video! THANK YOU for a WONDERFUL RECIPE! THANK YOU for SHARING your love of cooking!
    BTW These tamales were a Valentines Day gift for my husband of 34 years. HE is a happy camper!

    It is a very special gift you are giving the world and I am personally grateful for it. I lived out west in California where I was introduced to authentic Mexican food. I moved to CA with my two year old daughter because I was offered a good job...my next-door neighbor turned out to be an angel who came over and introduced her self the first day I moved in she was an older woman who spoke very little English but we managed to communicate very well...The whole family sort of adopted me ...I paid her to watch my daughter while I worked..She was seriously the cleanest person I had ever seen..if she had t change my daughter's clothes they would be freshly washed and folded. I felt so lucky to have such top-notch child care she really seemed to love my daughter as her own granddaughter. There was a time when I was working so much my daughter spoke more Spanish than English. This beautiful Matriarch made breakfast lunch and dinner from scratch everything fresh. I loved sitting around doing the tamale filling which was already made I never had a chance to watch her make it. I grew up in foster care and this family showed me what it felt like to have a loving family....they taught me so much! I am so glad you are sharing how to make these as my daughter called the woman Abuela and saw her as her own Grandmother . Abuela passed on a few years ago..my daughter still talks to the family and misses her Abuela...I am so excited to make these for my daughter

    I knew this video was legit when family was present.
    My intro to Tamales was on Christmas eve. I was in law enforcement and responded to a very nasty domestic violence call. Initially, the Mexican family was polite but very distant. After finishing my investigation, I spent some time with the victim, who was a real sweetheart. Next thing I know her parents insist I stay and eat home made Tamales with the family. Obviously some drama, more though was love. One of the best Christmas eves I ever had, initially complete strangers, then special friends, all in maybe two hours.

      Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from the wrath of GOD which is spending an eternity in hell❗️
      *What is the Gospel?*
      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
      JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
      Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

    I made my masa in the stand mixer for the first time and let me tell you, it’s the ONLY way to go. I was able to cream the manteca (lard) with the baking powder in a couple of minutes. Then I added the maseca (masa flour) and mixed that together to coat the maseca into the manteca. That was another couple of minutes. Then added the broth. I mixed until it started to float. My masa was floating in the water in probably less than 5 minutes. When I cooked it, it was the fluffiest tamal I’ve ever had. I’ll always do it this way from now on!

    I use a hand mixer. Mixing by hand killed my shoulder, the hand mixer whipped the Manteca real nice. Then I slowly added the maza, chili and seasonings. I mix it until I get a peanut butter consistency. But I did grow up making them by hand like you just showed us. I remember as I got older, my mom handed me the job of blending the Manteca and maza. I’m now thinking it was probably because it was hard on my mom’s shoulders. Miss my mom and her tamales!

    I remember my Grandma, Aunts and Mom got in the kitchen and made an assembly line to construct every tamale! When they got all the tamales constructed my Grandma made what she called drunks out of the remaining masa and meat and we ate those because the tamales were for Christmas Eve after Mass. Those are my best memories because the following year we lost her and it still hurts my heart! As I get older I miss her so much more!! I love that y'all treasure your Mama, I hope your kiddos treasuer her even more and make many, many, many memories 🥰🥰🥰🥰

      Do you mean she tied each tamal with a thin strip of corn husk? I've seen them done that way, but it doesn't seem to be traditional in Sonora.

    My new daughter in law is Mexican American. Her mom speaks some English- I have been using DuoLingo to learn Spanish. I am also using your channel to learn the language and to learn about the Mexican American culture in this country. Their wedding ceremony is in May and I want to understand my son’s new family and be able to make myself understood, also. Please bear in mind - I grew up in Northern Maine, very close to the Canadian border. I just love my new daughter in law and her mother has been like a real Mom to my son (I live in PA & they are in Colorado) it comforts me so much to know that he is so loved while so far away.

    When I was a kid, my mom would clear out the freezers of most of the meat that accumulated over the year. Turkey, beef, pork, chicken... these meats would all get mixed for the tamales. We would make many dozens, and eat through the holidays and freeze the extras for the first months of the year.

He is 1st generation so this was authentic foods and so so good. Each house we went to I got to see the process and the labor of love each family puts in to their tamales. They force fed us so much and I laughed and drank so much cerveza. First time I had ever been away from home for the holidays but they were all so kind and treated my daughter and I like family.

I am no longer in the food industry (years now), but I do still love to cook. I've pretty much mastered Scottish meat pies and Chinese won-tons and I would REALLY, REALLY like to make a near perfect tamale... ! OH MAH GOD! Yes. I'd like to make them PERFECT but I don't wish to feel like a failure so I will settle for near perfect. Perfection is difficult. Your instruction is awesome, and very understandable. I am SURE I can manage, ... and maybe manage a perfect one on my second try.... This isn't easy by any description!!!! Nope! Thank you SO much, and I will keep trying till I get a good result.

      Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from the wrath of GOD which is spending an eternity in hell❗️
      *What is the Gospel?*
      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
      JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
      Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
