Improvised Mole Tamales

During this quarantine, I had a terrible craving for tamales and wanted to order corn husks or banana leaves online to make them, but strangely, they weren't available on the supermarket's website. So, I decided to make them with aluminum foil and, in strict terms, I made them lacto-vegetarian by adding a slice of cheese along with the mole, and they turned out fantastic.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Take 1 1/2 cups of tortilla flour (Maseca or Minsa) and add salt, 1/4 cup of corn oil (we don't eat pork at home, so lard is completely out), add a teaspoon of baking powder, and enough water to make a manageable dough.

Spread a bit of dough in a rectangular shape on a piece of aluminum foil, add mole sauce (I bought a liquid mole with chocolate), a small slice of cheese, and fold the foil from one side to the other, and from top to bottom, then place them in a steamer. With these quantities, I made 9 tamales. Steam them for 1 hour. Delicious.

Easiest Tamales Ever Easiest Tamales Ever
I love mexican food but tamales can be so time consuming! So I did what I could and cut down the time, and also just made it easier in general. Still time consuming but not as much. Im not a huge meat eater but you can eliminate my filling for a meat filling if you have your own recipe. You can also use corn husks if you want more presentation and more work lol. gremlynwulf -

Beef Mole Enchiladas Beef Mole Enchiladas
When I was a kid one of my favorite things to eat was cheese enchiladas suiza. Suiza is enchiladas with a tomato based sauce. As I got older and my pallet became more refined my favor turned to beef and the delicious mole sauce. If you've never tried it you don't know what you've been missing. Pronounced Mole-ay, it's a chocolate based sauce, but don't let that perturb you. It doesn't taste anything like the chocolate you're thinking of. It's a fantastic, savory, spicy brown sauce that pairs so well with beef. Here's my quick and easy recipe for Beef Mole Enchiladas. Whitetrash Gastronome -
