Lori, I know this is long after you posted this, so you may have heard this already. When we moved to Newark (NE Ark) about 25 years ago, I couldn't believe the amount of people who talked about their methods and recipes for making tamales. I was raised in the panhandle of Texas around a lot of native Mexicans so I was very familiar with tamales. But Arkansas? yes! Turns out that in Newport, there was a very successful restaurant that specialized in tamales, and they were good! It was "Lackeys". Mrs. Lackey was the inventor of the family recipe and you saw their tamales in all the local grocery stores. Newport is not too far from you, so I'm kind of surprised you hadn't heard of that local brand of tamales. When my girls were little, I read a book from the library to them about a family making dozens (hundreds?) of tamales for Christmas and one of the mothers lost her ring in making the masa part. So, when I saw you had your rings off, I thought about that little book and then you said that about remembering to take them off. lol!! What a great video. Tamales sure take a lot of time to make. No wonder it's a Christmas treat!!
We grew up eating these every Christmas! My mom would make them every year - so good!! She is now 86, so Mom makes the fillings and all of us and our children soak the husks, spread the masa and stuff 'em - SO fun and SO good!!! (We are native Texans who live in Houston!)
Her videos are very instructive and very delicious. She has a very peaceful vibe and spirit about delivering her instructions. Also, she does each step at an easy, processing pace- it’s not hurried and easy to keep up with her. I thank her for her peace and tranquility while cooking😊 Also, I’m a Mexican American and loved her tamale recipe and tips, and I’ve been making tamales all my life.(70 yrs young)
Have you done them with. Strawberries they are so good
Wow. You make 'em almost exactly like my wife does! Spreader and everything. Last time she made them, (13 dozen) I stole a bit of the prepared masa, rolled it into a few little balls, shoved a jalapeno in some, & a little meat in others, & dropped them into a deep fry. The fam went nuts over them!
Wow!!! I bet they were fantastic!!! I'm gonna do that next time I make tamales ~ THANK YOU!!!
Sounds delicious!
Just wanted to let you know that I've made these tamales twice since watching your video. The first time they took forever to cook because our steamer was not big enough & I squeezed them in to tight. They were very good after they finally cooked. We recently bought an Instant Pot & we steamed our second batch in the pot & they turned out terrific! I cooked my meat in the Instant Pot and that was a real time saver step. Thanks so much for this great recipe.
What setting did you use in the instant Pot and for how long? That sounds great!
TY. I might try these & cook them in my Instant Pot as you did.🐷🌽🐖🥩🍅🧅🫔🧀🥑🥬🥒🍅🧅🫔🍽
@@anntierce7160 I used the steam setting on the IP, high pressure for approx. 45 minutes.
@@sallywall4385 I used the steam setting on the IP, high pressure for approx. 45 minutes.
Can you use the husk twice?
MASA is Spanish for DOUGH, it's cute how she says "Masa Dough" it's like saying "Dough Dough". If I didn't know any better, I would think they are Mr & Mrs "Moreno" (because Moreno is Spanish for Brown) I've seen lots of folks making a Tex-Mex or an Americanized version of Tamales, but this was the first time I've seen white folks making "100% Authentic Mexican Tamales". Parece que tus tamales son deliciosos, Gran Video!
I absolutely love authentic mexican food have so much respect for your cuisine, the best, xoxoxo
My maiden name is Moreno and my dad's nickname was Mr.Brown by his grandkids and neighbors lol. I absolutely loved this recipe and will give it a try myself. This video has the feeling of watching one of my Tias cooking.
Loncho ❤️
She must have gone down south because a lot of texans mess it up
Loncho i am one of those white folk but i can make a mean tamale, homemade taco shells too. I love mexican food and my step mother is mexican and showed me how its my favorite thing to eat
I remember when I was a little girl, my grandma, my aunts, and my mom would get together and make tamales during Christmas! It was so labor intensive they formed a production line. My grandma would work for two days to make those tamales. Like you she made the meat one day and assembled the next. Thank you for sharing this, it really brought back memories 🥰🥰
ah, nice memories
This really brings back memories. My great grandmother, a Missouri farm raised lady, (wherever she learned to make tamales I’ve no recollection.). but she made them for the corner tavern in Quincy, IL! They sold out very quickly. So so good. I’m 71 yrs, and she passed away in 1973... but what a memory to recall!
Beautiful memories! Xoxoxo
Thank you for sharing. Love this.
I appreciate. Your kindness. Thank you for showing us your receipe you are such a good teacher.
Hey Lori! i am ADHD and stopped taking ritalin after a few years after being diagnosed and in my 50s. i've always been hyper or "bubbly" and admire mellow people like you. i told the doctor 'well too bad, i guess everyone will just have to deal with my bubbly self because i aint takin that ritalin no more!' Anyway, you are so mellow it calms me way down just to watch one of your videos and listen to you. Especially love your recollections! Beautiful, never change.
That's so sweet
I have a Grandson who has ADHD,
When hes with me, hes pretty calm
I think it's because, I treat him with calmness and love, when he starts to get a little out of hand, I just say Levi, come over here sit with nanny, he will, I just hold him, he seems to calm a little, God Bless you
Happy New Year!
@@WhippoorwillHoller :D he is so lucky to have you. lost my mama in 89 and was 35 but and way before diagnosed ADHD in my 50s. she did the same type thing to me back in Jr. high and HS when they made me cry bullying me. a lot of things about my past and how i reacted to class mates & such made sense after dxd. will check out Azure too! HAPPY NEW YEAR dear & most precious lady to YOU and all of yours!
Excellent video 🙏🙏🙏💕
My nephew was 4 when diagnosed with ADHD. They put him on Ridlin and he developed Tourettes Syndrome because of a reaction with the meds. Stay your bubbly self, you made a good choice.
Sandra Vásquez from Texas is the inventor of the
Masa Spreader.
Your right, and I love it! Xoxoxo
Estella V. Ruiz I ordered one from this video can’t wait to try it .
@@WhippoorwillHoller You can make one out of a plastic cover from a coffee can !! The ladies at the local tamale factory use them. When I saw it I asked, because I always used a large spoon !! This contraption works great, and its not hard to make plus darn near free if ya buy coffee!! Luv Ya. !!
My mom would chunk, not shred, her pork , then fry it and boil it, and make the sauce the consistency of gravy and mix the two together. The masa, we make with lard and broth from the pork, too. They look yummy.
@@sandycarpio4877 More like carnitas... YUM! :)
Oh NO!!! I have been steaming my tamales for only 30 minutes!! I have always bragged about how moist and tender they were! Well, I guess so if I was serving and eating them RAW! I had no idea. I know that steam cooks really hot, and I just figured that was all they needed. Thanks for setting me straight. 30 minutes is a long way from 1.5 hours!!!!
So happy I found your channel, a lifestyle of the heart! My favorite food is Mexican, especially Tamale’s! As a small child I lived in Vicksburg, MS and remember my father buying Tamale’s from Solly who sold them from a cart on the corner. The decedents still sell them in a storefront now in Vicksburg. Visiting Solly’s is a must when we visit there but how I would love to make them. You did a great job explaining the process, I think it’s time I give it a try! Thank you so much for sharing! 💕
I so appreciate you and all that you do to share your home, life and your great cooking of good ole country cooking .
I’m from down near Houston in Texas City. We are used to having tamales too. I’ve only made them once, but have to try them your way. Looks great and I bet they are good. Thanks for the video and recipe!
I lived down there for a couple of years and there was a little lady who sold her tamales at some of the gas stations and the H.E.B! Is she still around, or have you ever seen her?
Diane ~ take a trip over the bridge to Galveston. Pennie's on 37th Street has amazing tamales. Folks say they best they've ever tasted.
Nice job👍 I still make tamales every christmas and maybe in March 😁because friends request them😋
Love recipes from fellow Texans! I lived in Pasadena for about 5 years...grew up in Gonzales....been gone from Texas for years but still miss my home state!! thanks for the informative videos...love them
I lived in Pasadena for 13 years, moved to Arkansas, xoxoxo
I can't bring myself to leave Texas LOL!!
I'm in Dallas. Used to work with a manager in training from New Jersey and when he returned North, I had to periodically mail him a dozen packets of 2-alarm chili mix. LOL
Lots of us Texans retired up here in Ozarks, we eat our homemade Mexican food all the time. Your tamales look great.
Whippoorwill Holler hey over here in NW Arkansas, near Branson, so many many Texans here in the surrounding farms ! xx Love your channel
As a Mexican woman, I learned how to make these as a young child with my Grandmother, my Mom and her 5 sisters. It is indeed a huge undertaking and we did it as an assembly line. I can tell you, the masa spreader is BRILLIANT! Going to get one of those!!! Thanks for the vid!
Those masa spreaders are a HUGE time saver! I love mine!
My name is Blanca and I am impressed with your tamales... Great job! I started making them with my grandmother and mom when I was 9 years old... we would make them every Christmas for gifts to all the neighbors. They would wait for them every year. I’m going to start in September to do the same. I’m from GALVESTON Tx just wanted to say HOWDY... keep on cooking and sharing... ❤️
Wow, Blanche ... How kind. I want to be YOUR neighbor! :o)
The first time i ever tried to make Tamales i watch every mexican lady on youtube make them. I learned how to make them from a lady that didn't speak english.
On spreading the mesa i used a 4 inch tape & bed knife that made it work really fast. I get all my tamales ready before i put into my steaming pot. One thing i need to point out is i made 12 dozen and keep out a couple dozen a froze the rest. Lol don't do that because when you re-steam them they turned out watery. So the best way is only steam what your going to eat. Then freeze the rest then when you need more then steam them. And a big thanks to you & your husband from Tyler, Tx
Great job!
After he retired, my husband made the tamales. Only made them after Christmas, and used leftover turkey and ham. He mixed the meats and they always turned out really well!! We froze them and hoped they would last. Nope. Never happened: we ate them fast! Delicious!!!
Oh I bet you did Jeannie, sounds delicious! Xoxoxo
Oh my word those look so delicious! I love that you showed all the steps. You made it look doable.
You had my mouth watering! I haven't seen them made using the broth from the meat but it makes perfect sense to me! Thanks you for the step by step way you presented it. I will definitely be trying tamales soon! Saved the video to watch again. Thanks!😊
That's where the masa gets it's flavor ! No broth, no flavor , just plain masa !
Salvadorean tamales are extremely flavorful , the masa is the king the meat is second in flavor and structure.
Tamales are so , delicious and so bad for the us , but ones a year in Xmas time it's ok to splurge 😂
I learned to make tamales from a dear friend, and even though it's a time consuming project they are sooo much better than store bought tamales. My friend would buy the masa dough from a Mexican restaurant, so I'm glad you showed how to make the dough.I've noticed with masa it soaks up a lot of liquid.
I am SO excited to watch your video!! Your attention to detail is exceptional and SO welcome! Ty!!
Wow I appreciate this video so much. I’m in Indiana, near Chicago and grew up eating homemade tamales on holidays. We’d gather around the kitchen table and work in an assembly line fashion. Really good memories. I’ve never made them myself and I’m almost 60! I think it’s time !
Yummy!yummy
I was born and raised on the Northside of Houston. My neighbors make tamales about twice a year, once being around Christmas time, and they always make a lot! I can eat me some good homemade pork tamales! I’ve never attempted to make them myself because I’ve always heard it’s a long process! I never asked what all goes into making them, but now I see what they mean when they say, it’s a process. Bless you for taking the time to make them for your family, and for getting this on video. I’ve watch a many of your video’s and love all of them. Thank you for having this channel and for keeping traditions alive! God bless you and your family.
I just love the two of you and your simple living, your videos help me totally relax, thank you. Love the recipes and the conversations with you and John. Thank you.
Ms Lori: "can you smell that, corn, that masa?" Me: Oh I wish I could! I wish someone somewhere had invented smell-o-vision!!
I know, I say that alot, but that's one of our first senses, is smell, I love the smell of food!! Lol
FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much. Been working out these for a couple years now and this is an awesome recipe you've got!
I’m from Arkansas but lived in Sulphur Springs, TX, when I was a young adult! Love watching your videos, Lori! Thanks for sharing!
Fellow Texan also living in a new state and can't get tamales here like at home. (Dallas). I too have to make my own. While my waist line won't allow it, I could eat tamales every week. YUM.
How nice to have Mr. Brown helping you! love it.
I love hot tamales my husband would make them when the weather was cold. I am from New Orleans any you know the food is good back home .we still cook like we did back home. Sometime we can’t get the seasons.God Bess.
This is a REAL process but a good tradition to try n start! So nice to see Mr Brown work that trowel/spreader on the husks! Every job needs the right tool. Sheet rock work taught him skills . He’s got the knack! Your meat n sauce look delicious!
How good does this look! Makin me hungry. Thank you for sharing!😋😋😋😋
The spreader looks like spreading grout when your laying tile. Some Enterprising young man or women came up with that. I hope it is a huge success for them.
Shirley Drake she actually made millions already! 👍🏼
Thanks for making what I thought would be so difficult so doable. Love your videos. You make cooking fun!
I made a big batch of tamales last fall. Living here in Arkansas it's almost impossible to find authentic Mexican food. Mine turned out pretty good, but I learned some new tricks from watching this video. Thanks!
Wow...that masa spreader is amazing. That's the hardest part was spreading the husks, I'm going to order one. I run the cooked meat through the grinder attachment of my Kitchen Aid mixer. A couple years I smoked the pork to about half done on my smoker then finished off in my Nesco Roaster oven to get the broth. A friend of mine would add a treat to each tamale like an olive or a thin slice of pickled carrot, or a slice of chili pepper, so it was fun to see what you'd get when serving them up. Tamalies freeze and microwave very well. I'll definitely be making some as soon as I get my smash spreader. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much. I love tamales. I always buy them when I find someone who has them, but the quality varies . Now I can make my own. Thank you again
That is so awsome just started following your channel and I simply love it. Ms Sandra Vásquez is the inventor of the tamale spreader she has her own you tube channel
Love your recipes thank you and God bless
Wow! I’m impressed. My parents being from Texas would be mighty proud of you. There’s lots of ways to make them. There is no wrong way because everyone grew up making them their own way. Yours look perfect. We’ve been wanting to order that tamale spreader for ourselves but we keep forgetting to. I’m going to make it a point to get it for this Christmas. Great job Ms. Lori
You and Mr. Brown are amazing people, and so comforting to watch! I don't know that I would have the patience to make tamales, but I surely did enjoy your video! I live alone and only cook for me. My children never ever come home anymore. I love Mexican and Tex-Mex food and your southern accents are so comforting to me. I live in Lufkin, Texas, just north of Houston. I had an aunt, Billie Jean and Gordon Sherwood, who lived in Pasadena, Texas for many years. They later moved to Lake Livingston, in Livingston, Texas after retirement. She, my aunt, died this past summer. Livingston is about 35 to 40 miles from Lufkin, just outside of Houston. Thanks for listening to me "ramble".......NITA
I felt like a welcomed guest everytime I see your channel. I just went to our decoration yesterday and I'm sure that you and Mr. Brown would have fit right in. Thank you so much for showing me how to can peaches and I am positive I'm going to try peach butter. I'm already a apple butter fan. Oh, this is where I remembered to say hi, I'm valerie, lol. You make people feel very welcomed like extended family or friends. That's a quality more should acquire. I hate goodbyes so til later!
Thank you, Valerie, my heart is full, such a sweet comment, they always say, your real friends come through your back door without knocking, you can come through my back door anytime! God Bless,xoxoxo
This is my second video,you and Mr.Brown are awsome! I know without a shadow of doubt be your family! You are so down to earth and are great teacher.I watched the whole video. My first video where I already claimed you as friend and family was making easy pizza dough! Thank you both for sharing your home with me! God Bless you!
I love green tamales. I have never made red ones. I can’t wait to try them. Love the masa spreader. I live in East Texas. Near Tyler and Canton. Thank you
I am Mexican. Love you love our tamales ! But have you ever had Salvodorean tamales ? It's a different texture , flavor. OMG ! when I lived in Los Angeles I would buy them from the corner tamale lady then go get fresh 6in French rolls or Frances how they are known in El Salvador. Cut them open , put the tamale in there like a sandwich, put some tapatio sauce for spice ! OMG it's a little piece of goodness 😙
Mrs. Brown, I love the way you mentor us through every recipe you cook. Your kindness comes through with every word. You always say something like "there's not much to......" whatever you're cooking, even when you're making tamales. I just love spending time with you in your kitchen. 🦋
I love that you don't waste anything.So many cooks leave so much on there cutting boards,or in their mixing bowls.This looks yummy.I must try it.Thank you so much.
Were from California...you did everything just right! Were makin some right now 12/22/2019. Pork and chili with cheese! Keep up the good work. My family is from Corpus Christi. Love them tamales.
OMG!! I love Tamales but never knew how to make em’??!!! Thank you for sharing your family recipe!! I can’t wait to try n make em’ too??!! Lol. It made my mouth water wanting to eat the whole pot by myself??!! Lol 😂🤣
I enjoyed watch this one again....made me hungry.... yummy...
Live in Phoenix this is a staple for holidays!!!!! My neighbor she makes it her and her mom ,,so good last few years been helping them...love pork with green sauce!
Somebody ought write and illustrate a children’s book about Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
Children need to get the idea that this is how life should be.
Loved the video, my daughter and I have been wanting to make tamale’s so now we will try with your excellent instructions! Loved your teal colored top and very cute embroidery apron you wore in most the video! My lips are smacking hankering for a good tamale! 😊👍
Thank you so much, I hope you like the Tamales, xoxoxo
beautiful video, i love tamale, i love all mexican fare but tamale is my favorite,thanks for the great recipe and good company
I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears to hear you say you were going to make tamales! I always said my mother’s were the best but I lost the instructions she gave me 30 or 40 years ago. You know the kind of recipe I mean, a handful of this, a pinch of that, etc. As I watched, it took me back to making them with my mom. Now I will make them this year with your recipe! Thanks for the memories it brought up. Rosie Oliver
Very enjoyable tutorial. Never seen pork tamales made, heard they're a lot of work. That masa alone, I can see it's something you have to learn by touch. Looks delicious, thank you and God Bless!
Thank you, alot of work, but worth it, xoxoxo
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe I can't wait to give them a try.....You and Mr Brown are precious, God Bless.
Thank you for watching, God Bless,xoxoxo
Love the love that goes into making tamales. It is definitely an adventure! Grandma used pork, beef and chicken for meat. All 3 together. We had a lot of good times asking when they would be done. Grandma would just smile and chase us out the kitchen. When she finally said come and get it, it was a stampede to the table! Like you she made sauces for the tamales. Thank you for sharing this recipe !👍😎
I've lived in Texas 45 years and I have never learned how to make tamales! Thank you for showing me this. It is time consuming but I think I can definately do this! My husband's family all come from Sulphur Springs/Sulphur Bluff area and Lamar County. My kids live in Houston. Thanks so much for sharing this!!
I bet those are extra spicy with those kind of dry peppers.we always put the lard in the masa before we add broth and seems to do great that way for us.
I have no idea why you came up on my feed but you seem like one of the older women in my family, so I subscribed.
Yum Good info and tips. Thanks for sharing your recipe
I’m so happy I found your channel if you making tamales with Mr.Brown Bless Both of you for making my day:)
I can tell you know what you’re doing! Looks delicious! I’m here in Texas and get wonderful Mexican food on a regular basis. My in-laws lived in Pasadena at one time
Tamales Enchilada oh yeah !!!
That's some good eatin
Thanks for sharing love watching makes me want to go make some lol many blessings
Love, love Tamales! Xoxoxo
Love all your videos, thank you and Mr. Brown too!
Such a great video! I love how you both work together and make it look simple. Can't wait to give them a try!
I loved your recipe and you & husband are so cute together. Merry Christmas
My brother used to say - use a bando spreader - he used to work on cars lol
I worked with a Mexican lady that made really good tamales at my bakery! She made sweet and savory ones! Delicious! I want to make some now! Thanks for sharing! Love your videos and your husband shares the work too!
Miss Lori, this video brought back many memories for me! My Granny and Mom would make these a couple of times a year, taking two days to cook the meat and grind it by hand, and the second day they would make the tamales. Mind you , this was back in the late 50’s and 60’s. They always did beef and pork together. Everything was pretty well the same as you, except Granny always used white cornmeal and the strained meat broth and salt, for the outer layer instead of masa flour. She would make it like a thick slurry to spread on the husks, and then folded both ends up and lay them in pots with a plate on the bottom and top to steam. There were people in the community that would buy them from her, get this, for $.50 a dozen! After doing this for many years, she went to a dollar a dozen, which didn’t go over well, but she still sold all she wanted to! Those were the best tamales I’ve ever had. Thanks for the video!
Messy cooks are the best cooks - lol
I love tamales! I've seen tamales cooked in a red "sauce" also. I tried making tamales once, but decided it was a whole lot of work. Yours look really good.
Daisysmith
I just love how Mr. Brown is always so supportive, and when he pitches in. You two seem like you’re very much in love and sweet to each other. I’m blessed to have a “Mr. Brown”, too. 13 years and going strong. Thank you for the video!
I think you and I are very blessed! Xoxoxo
I love ALL of your recipes.... but one of my favorite parts is your soothing voice, it reminds me of my mother. You’re an angel in my eyes!

Will you do a video making enchilados please?
Thanks so much for sharing this! And especially for your recipes! The fajita seasoning... ¡Es tan delicioso!
I made these, completed them today. It’s the first time I have every made a tamale so my technic needs improvement; but... OMG!!! These are the best tamales I have ever eaten hands down. I don’t think there is a Mexican restaurant here in the mid-west that could top these! The flavor is stellar! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Doing a happy dance cause I’m going to be sharing them and I know there will be raves!
I love a good tamale! I'll give your directions to my husband, he's the cook around here.
I was raised with this kind of food, living in Texas, we had access to the best tamales, xoxoxo
I love tamales
They look so good and I have been wanting to make Tamales. This is a pretty clear recipe and instruction on how to do that. Thank you so much!
I’ve been craving tamales so I decided to watch your video again. I just pained myself and my mouth watered the whole time! Thanks again for your good recipes.
Looks delicious but a lot of work! Blessings!
Thank you for your recipe. Do you think you can put the recipe in the comments? How big is your crock pot. Thats a big roast. These look so good. Can i have one ☺
Thank you for sharing your tricks of the tamale making process. Tamales are my favorite comfort food, haha not pasta not ice cream, haha but i haven’t made any in a long time, and the tamale masa spreader is a real ingenious way to speed up the tedious process. God bless y’all and have a wonderful autumn, tamale season is coming up! We grew up eating them for holidays, and i miss the good authentic homemade kind. Nothing outta the can tastes right, and hamburger meat in tamales doesn’t either, not really. Thanks. We grew up eating Mexican tamales in Los Angeles county, the real deal.
My Native friend would spend the holidays with her twin who lived on the reservation. They made dozens of both beef & pork tamales. She shared a dozen with us & they were so yummy! Theirs were wide & the husk was folded & tied, I think. I bought masa once but it seemed more than I could handle.
Thanks to you, Lori, I have an understanding of each process & will finally attempt to make them 20 years later. lol
Love & blessings for you & your hubby!
I am watching some of your older videos.. and this was a wonderful video to show us how it is done.. I have never made them so I will give it a try.. I was wondering if you ever use fresh corn husks.
When I saw your spreader I thought, man just like a thrall, so it really cracked me up when Mr Brown got in there and was working the magic LOL But you set him up good by having the perfect consistency for the Masa.. You make a good team :) Thanks for taking us along..
Thank you so much, I've never used fresh corn husk, Mr. Brown always does good job, God Bless,xoxoxo
Green Rage thanks so much for the red sauce recipe! I make tamales but I have never found a red sauce I like. I have no doubt I am going to love your sauce!
I have the same pot u put your dried peppers in.. mine is prolly 60 yrs old!!!
I'm from New Mexico and we love our tamales. We use New Mexico Hatch red chile in our tamales. There are two ways of making tamales in New Mexico that I've seen - your way is one of them and the other way is usually made by Spanish and Native American families (tamales are thicker and meatier and are tied at both ends). My family uses lard and doesn't use any baking powder. Tamales are usually made at Christmas time and all the family helps to make them as we make up to 25 dozen that day - its a long and tiring day but worth it. Thanks for sharing.
New subscriber from San Francisco! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You and Mr. Brown seem wonderful. God Bless!
Took over from my mom it was 15 years of learning she learn from a lady in the 1940 . i use pork heads some other pork too its gets flavor.
Wow, sounds wonderful, xoxoxo
Ps love ur cooking especially chicken and dumplings!!
Thank you, xoxoxo
I make homemade tamales, both green chili and the red chili ones. I always cook a large beef roast and a small pork together in my slow cooker for my red chili ones I love the flavor of the mix! I’ve never used the masa spreader but after over 40 yrs of making them I think I’m pretty fast at spreading the masa but then the older I get I may try it! Thank you for sharing your recipe ( love your videos)
Love listening to you and watching how you do it.
Made those today.... the bessssssssseeeeeessssssstttttt. Everybody, you got to do this. Moist, delicious. I added cheese also..... my go to now!!!!!!!!
Awesome! I haven't made any in a long time, I bet they were so good!
Merry Christmas!
Yes , mozzarella or Jack cheese with two slices of pickled jalapeños , no meat " vegetarian " 😂...out of this world . Refried beans also , no meat. But home made refried beans no cans please 😂.....
Thanks for sharing!
Question ....would I use the same amount of lard instead of shortening and should it also be whipped?
Lard would be awesome, and it does need to be creamy, xoxoxo
Yes, same amount. I would recommend that you whip the lard first with baking powder until it's nice and fluffy. :-)
Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for sharing how to make these. I've wanted to for years and just didn't know how to even start. I'm in NE Texas, a little town called DeKalb. Just a hop skip and jump to Sulphur Springs!! And my husband lived for many years in Pasadena when he was a kid. He works for DOD and has a lot of Spanish speaking folks come through his building. Growing up part of his years in Pasadena, helped him learn Spanish. The other part of his childhood was growing up in Mountain Pine, AR. I guess none of this matters much, but it made me feel a little more close to you. God Bless! :)
Thank you Susan, I believe Texas, and Arkansas are the best!!
Thank you for sharing your recipes. I came here from your tamale pie recipe ...It looked so yummy, I'll be making it tonight for dinner.
Here's a tip for those who have an iron tortilla press and don't want to spend money on a spreader: The lady who showed me how to make tamales used an old iron tortilla press to spread the masa. You just lay the husk on the press, put your glob of masa on the husk, cover with a square of wax paper (the size of the press) and drop the lid to spread it. You don't "press" it. The weight of the lid spreads it out evenly. Peel the wax paper off and reuse for the next one. Replace as needed. I find it goes really fast when working alone or as a task easy enough for the younger helpers.
