I so love tamales so I wanted to try to make them. They are so yum but was a little bit concerned they would be hard but after much research found it’s like making pasta, easy! What? So I read many post and embarked on the journey. I put my own twist and turned out so finger licking good!
Step one: meat of choice in instant pot( I did carna sada) for 2 hours
Step two: take green Chili’s and roast then garlic and onions
Put them in pot with a cup of water and simmer 30 minutes then cool and blend
Soak corn husk for two hours in pot with hot water
Take the juice from the meat to make the mesas follow directions on bag but use juice instead of water. Makes a world of difference in taste.
Fill tamales and keep water near by to get them to stick to husk.
I put them in the instant pot on the steam rack with just enough water to cover bottom but not touch tamales. I then pressure cook for 120 minutes!
They are to die for and will keep in fridge nicely or even freeze. If you decide to warm in microwave add water in a cup so they do not dry out.
