Gourmet Tamales 🫔🤩

I love tamales. I don’t always feel up to making them, but today I wanted to surprise my family for Candlemas Day, and I also accomplished my goal because I got 5 figurines. Tomorrow we’ll enjoy them together. I hope you like them. 🤤🥳

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix the masa with the baking powder and olive oil. Gradually add the room temperature broth and salt. Mix until smooth.
- 2
Cut the banana leaves into medium squares, carefully wash each leaf, then heat them over a flame until they change color and become soft.
- 3
In a small pot, heat the guajillo sauce. To be honest, I used a store-bought one called Doña Chonita and it was delicious. Add the pork. If needed, add a little broth and salt, depending on how thick your sauce is.
- 4
Lay out a banana leaf, place a ball of masa on one end, flatten it like a tortilla, and put enough pork with sauce in the center. Fold in half and wrap.
- 5
Add enough water to a steamer and arrange the tamales inside, leaving space in the middle so the steam can reach each one. Cover and cook for 1 hour over medium-low heat. Make sure the steamer doesn’t run out of water. The tamales are ready when they easily pull away from the leaf and have a fluffy texture.

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 -
