Today, I will show you an easy way to achieve tender savory chicken tamales. Making tamales is always a labor of love. There are many steps and it takes hours of time, but bringing the family together is worth it. Some make tamales to share and celebrate the holidays with family and friends. Some sell tamales to support their livelihood. With that said, this recipe can be doubled, tripled, and quadrupled should you need to make a large amount. I am more than sure there are hundreds of ways to make tamales and everyone has a family recipe. This is just a simple way to make them. I tried to simplify it for the beginner cook or those who want to easily make tamales at home. INGREDIENTS 50 cleaned & softened corn husks 2 1/2 to 3 lbs prepped chicken prepped masa 16-quart steamer pot 2 liters of water for the bottom of the steamer pot Chicken 5 lbs boneless chicken breast or thighs 4 1 /2 cups water 2 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp garlic powder 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp black pepper 10 to 12 dried guajillo chiles (stems and seeds removed) 8-quart Slow Cooker (cook on high for 4 to 4 1/2 hours) Masa 4 1/2 to 5 cups (1 L to 1. 2 L ) broth 1/3 cup chile puree 4 cups instant corn flour (I used Maseca brand) 2 1/2 tsp salt 2 1/2 tsp baking powder 8 oz (227 g) lard or shortening 16-quart steamer pot Puree 12 prepped & softened guajillos 1 1/2 cups broth Meat Filling 2 Tbsp cooking oil 1 cup or more of chile puree 3 lbs shredded cooked meat salt and season to taste

Angela, I LOVE tamales! You make the fixing them so easy I think I will try this myself! Thank you SO much!
I looked in your, or what I thought was your, sale area on line. I bought your cook book, but I really want another one! I also got your ingredients to make Enchilada sauce and Spanish red rice. I did not see these there. Are you not offering these any more?

Thank you so much.
I have always been a bit intimidated when making tamales because I come from a long line of experienced Mexican women in my family that made them. with ease.
I have been making them on my own for 10 years but I learned something from you today and I am very grateful.
Will be making mine for Christmas

We have different ideas of easy. I buy tamales from a neighbor lady. No way I'm gonna make those myself. Mrs. Rodriguez makes a great tamale! She calls in all her family to make them. She sells hundreds out of the back of her truck.

Great! I have your book and I will use the dark meat too. Have you made a cheese and chili only (like an anaheim or pablano? I had them once in AZ and would love to see them made. I imagine I would make it basically the same?

I used your recipe to make a small batch of pork tamales and steamed them in the Instant Pot. They were amazing for my first try! Thank you!
