    Tamales Pro Tip: The following morning after making and eating tamales, have them for breakfast. Take the tamales out of the corn husks and place them on a medium-hot pan with some oil. Cook them for a few minutes on each side until they start to brown. This makes the masa get crispy, giving it a great texture. Serve them with a few fried eggs and some homemade salsa. Now you can have tamales any time of day.

      I mean yes, I’m an ok cook and I still make errors like that. It takes a lot of skill, practice, and attention to detail to cook food “perfectly”
      It’s easy to cook something passable and I’ve made plenty of, we shall say, passable meals. It takes repeated practice to get every detail right.
      I spent years watching the egg station guy at a breakfast buffet make sunny side up eggs, my favorite style, and I would time him, watch how he set his burner, etc and even after that I can only get them right maybe 75% of the time.

    We have something very similar in Puerto Rico called Pasteles. We also make them a lot during Christmas and fill them with meats and other Caribbean ingredients. Only difference is our masa is made from plantains and are wrapped in plantain leaves and wrap them a second time with parchment paper and tie them up because we boil them instead of steaming, that way no water gets in. Always good with some hot sauce.
    Never had tamales before, but I sure will next time I get a chance. Saludos! To all our Mexican brothers and sisters!

      For some of us, Tex-Mex food goes back to our earliest childhood memories, and I'm Anglo. I have never fixed homemade tamales, though. -- I can buy fresh frozen tamales at the grocery store from either a local (in-town) company or from a regional company (I think that one's based in San Antonio.) -- If you have never had real tamales, look for them online, or make some homemade. They are warm, hearty, homestyle favorites, and people will take them in their lunchboxes to work sites. -- Chicken, beef, or pork are the most usual fillings, but I've seen black bean (frijoles negros), spinach, and "roasted vegetable" tamales. (The roasted veggies are onions, bell peppers, and a mild pepper, maybe poblano, and a couple of other veggies. Tamales are a traditional family thing for many people for the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, where mothers and grandmothers, aunts, uncles, dads, grandfathers, and the kids all will help make them, and visit. Feliz Navidad a todos. It is part of the Southwestern and cowboy / vaquero tradition that formed this part of the country, from Texas to California. we are stronger together. Our differences are us richer, just like spices in cooking.

    I saw the thumbnail, read the title and immediately imagined Taco Bell-style "Mexican food." I was going to write a negative review and just be plain ignorant. Sometimes, as a Mexican, I forget that stereotyping doesn't just happen one way; it goes many ways. Plus, it saddens me and angers me that many in the U.S. want my culture, but they don't want my people. 🤷‍♂️
    I stuck the video out and guess what? Those tamales look very, insanely similar to the ones my mother makes. Then it dawned on me: I was going to leave a negative comment for a video done by a gentleman who is happily sharing in my culture and sharing my culture with everyone. This here gentleman is the kind of person we need more of nowadays. One who shares in, shares and enjoys other cultures. We are all, after all, as they say; human.
    Mr. Rollins, you have yourself another subscriber, amigo. Although I did not post a negative comment after all, I sincerely apologize for having stereotyped you.

    Tamaulipas Mexican making Texas home here. My mom and sister have been making tamales all their lives. I've helped but never tried making them myself. The masa you made is the same consistency as my mom's. You used almost the same ingredients as my mom. The end result is just like my mom's. The tamal just slides off the husk. I will try your recipe and surprise my mom 😁

Thank you for showing everyone who isn't Mexican that there is more to our food than just tacos and burritos. You can make tamales with different fillings such as chicken with green salsa, cheese with jalapeno, sweet corn, sweet pineapple raisin tamales, Strawberry. This Christmas eve I made Mexican tamales with green salsa and strawberry tamales, my mother made chicken tamales with red salsa and cheese tamales.

    Your show brought back memories of when I was kid and hot tamales were a MAJOR production around Christmas. We rendered down hog heads in large pots. I was one of the little helpers with a spoon smoothing the masa on the corn shuck. One of the tricks to waking up the camino and dried peppers was the slightly roast the spices in a skillet for a minute or two. It was an all day production that started before dawn and ended when I fell over from exhaustion. Some tamales were ckicken relleno, some had white raisins and peanut filling, but my favorite were the pork.

  • @ancogaming

    I have no idea how that would taste like and, living in Germany, it may be complicated to get some corn husks. But I'll manage somehow. I definitely like to cook something which I've never done before and which no one around even knows of. Kind of like when I've made the Cowboy Enchiladas which Kent showed me how to do. That was a hoop and a half, by the way, I had made way more than we could eat, gave some to my neighbors (as Kent told us all, be a good neighbor) and these folks now have practically ordered me to do more.
    Thank you so much, Kent and Shannon and the Beagle and every good soul in your household for bringing love and a full belly to the people around you and for inspiring people to do so as well all across the world. God bless you, fine folks.

    My Father's advice, when selecting a Mexican restaurant, first try their tamales. Cowboy you have passed Dad's test!
