I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me
Great recipe. Tip: you didn't mention that there is an inside and outer side of the corn husk.. I was also taught after you roll the tamal the top was folded opposite way of your fold. Your right we all have family secrets. Enjoyed this video so much.
I remember my first experience with Tamales. It was a act of kindness I will never forget. I had started working in a tomato cannery when I was only 16 years old. I didnt have any money for gas and it was too far to drive everyday so I was stranded at work until I received my first paycheck. I slept in my car and ate canned tomatoes of all kinds for almost a week and a half. We were working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week. I was sleeping in my car one day and I was woke up with the sound of children playing. I looked in the dirrection of the laughter and noticed the children were laughing and pointing at me in my car. A older Spanish Man came out and rounded the children up and made them go inside. I fell back asleep. A few hours later I was woke up again with a knock on my window. I looked over and seen the same Man and Children standing outside my car. I rooled down my window and was met with the most amazing smell. The Man handed me a plate full of food and walked away without saying a word. The next Child sepped up and handed me lemon aid and the next Child had spoons and forks. I was so hungry for real food at that time I could have ate without anything at all. I was so flattered by this act of kindness and I must say it changed my life. I am a better person today because of this example and I always keep my eyes open for others in need.
I am trying to impress my mother in law with Tamale making, I am Irish she is, of course, Mexican so I used your recipe and she said no Irish Girl can make Tamales like that I must be Mexican somewhere down the line...hahaha Everyone loved them, I did a few practice tries before making them for her but stood strong to your recipe. Thanks so much, now I have a little family respect. Love to all
Respect my wife is polish and irish and she trys to impress my mother and i love that from her!! She trys to involve her self everything and for that i will love and die for her she my everything
@@benny7706 That is so wonderful...so many forget when you get married your partners family becomes your family and you must love them like you were born to them. High Five to your wife....and to you
@@buenacollins4441 in a Latino or Hispanic house like mine, you marry the family and the culture. Family is always big and first. My husband is Scandinavian. He loves any foods my family taught me or I grew up with in Tampa
my wife and I use to make about 12 doz for Xmas. And the best part was eating them. My wife passed away 5 years ago. your family made me fill at home again. TThank You

Ladies I would like to thank you for your videos. At 67 years old I have learned to make tamales. I used my kitchenaid mixer to work the dough. I did it like a cake from scratch. I creamed the lard, then added the masa , then the broth and blended well. Did the water test. It floated! I cooked to test the flavor. It was perfect. Thank you. Give a person a tamale, they wait for more. Teach them to make the tamales they become a tamale cornacupio factory . Thanks again!
OMG I finally made these for my judgmental mother-in-law and they were AMAZING! She was talking smack while I was making it and trying critique me but she actually absolutely loved the finished tamales. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!😊
I’ve never seen anyone spread the masa into the corn husk with a paddle or a spatula. I’ve only seen people use their fingers to do it and it seems easier with the fingers. The olive is an interesting touch as well. Couldn’t someone break a tooth on the pit?
It is a very special gift you are giving the world and I am personally grateful for it. I lived out west in California where I was introduced to authentic Mexican food. I moved to CA with my two year old daughter because I was offered a good job...my next-door neighbor turned out to be an angel who came over and introduced her self the first day I moved in she was an older woman who spoke very little English but we managed to communicate very well...The whole family sort of adopted me ...I paid her to watch my daughter while I worked..She was seriously the cleanest person I had ever seen..if she had t change my daughter's clothes they would be freshly washed and folded. I felt so lucky to have such top-notch child care she really seemed to love my daughter as her own granddaughter. There was a time when I was working so much my daughter spoke more Spanish than English. This beautiful Matriarch made breakfast lunch and dinner from scratch everything fresh. I loved sitting around doing the tamale filling which was already made I never had a chance to watch her make it. I grew up in foster care and this family showed me what it felt like to have a loving family....they taught me so much! I am so glad you are sharing how to make these as my daughter called the woman Abuela and saw her as her own Grandmother . Abuela passed on a few years ago..my daughter still talks to the family and misses her Abuela...I am so excited to make these for my daughter
What a lovely story. You can pay her tribute by continuing her culture with your daughter. Not only the food but her love. Blessings to you and your daughter

This literally had me in tears, remembering my grandma teaching me and my sis how to make tortillas de harina. Unfortunately my sis passed away 3 yrs ago. This is why I love watching you guys... It makes me wish I still had her here, but also makes me thankful I got to make special memories with her. 🥰
This touches my heart. I lost all my family in 2 years because all I had was older people raising me. I miss these times too. I feel like these ladies are my new family for real. Makes me wanna cry too💛💛💛
@@jamesgaul3544 aww thank you so much. The Lord truly has blessed me and All glory be to our Heavenly Father. May Yeshua Jesus Christ blessed you for your kind words to us💛
Hi there! FIRST This was the first time ever I made Tamales! Your step by step directions are spot on! In your video you said, if you can make the masa in your stand mixer I want to know how. Well, I injured my hand, had to have stiches so I used my 6Qt Bowl Professional Kitchen aide mixer. This is what I did. I put the shortening in the bowl with the whisk attachment and let that puppy fly! I beat it until it had the consistency of yours, that took about 5 - 10 minutes on high, stopping to scrape down the sides. I then added my masa dough a little at at time, with a little of the broth, making sure it was smooth before adding more. This step took about 15 minutes. I checked periodically with the "float" test. They came out fluffy, soft and FULL of Flavor. My grandson (13 months) had 2, and my daughters and husband are having an early dinner, because they can't wait. THANK YOU for a WONDERFUL video! THANK YOU for a WONDERFUL RECIPE! THANK YOU for SHARING your love of cooking! BTW These tamales were a Valentines Day gift for my husband of 34 years. HE is a happy camper!
Thank you so much for adding these mixer times… I’m disabled & there’s no way I could do this by hand… I can’t cook on most nights & will have to save up my energy and get help for this, but I want so much to try this, if even just once, because they look AMAZING ❤️🥰
I love this. I am an Icelandic but I was married to a mexican and my ex motherinlaw thought me how to cook mexican food and now I am the best Icelandic cook cooking mexican food. I am going to make this for xmas. Thank you
I am from New Mexico, and we put green chile, chicken, queso fresco in some, and pork with hot red chile and dice onion in some. Then you ask for some red and some green. Growing up in a large Mexican family, our tamaladas every year was legendary. We made hundreds every year! This recipe is very different from how we made it, and I'm so excited to try it!
I do it the easy way......I order mine from Texas Lone Starr tamales in Texas. They ship right to my door steps in Georgia. We visted San Antonio about 25 years ago and came accross a tamale factory , bought some and ate them off the hood of our car, been ordering tamales ever since.
I have watched ever tamale video you have ever put out at least 2 to 3 times! I keep learning from each way you do it. Your Mom joining us is such a wonderful treat!!!
My new daughter in law is Mexican American. Her mom speaks some English- I have been using DuoLingo to learn Spanish. I am also using your channel to learn the language and to learn about the Mexican American culture in this country. Their wedding ceremony is in May and I want to understand my son’s new family and be able to make myself understood, also. Please bear in mind - I grew up in Northern Maine, very close to the Canadian border. I just love my new daughter in law and her mother has been like a real Mom to my son (I live in PA & they are in Colorado) it comforts me so much to know that he is so loved while so far away.
I couldn't go home to California for Christmas this year so I decided to cook a Mexican Christmas dinner for the anglo family I live with here in Baltimore. I was able to make tamales that rival anything I grew up eating and I was so proud to be able to provide that experience for them and their children. Your video was the reason I was able to do that. I can't thank you enough for that. Dios le bendiga usted y su familia 🙏
I think I love your mom! My mom died several years ago so just listening to her brings on the tears. I'm hearing my mom all over again. God Bless you momma I think you need to show her, not just her hands!
🌷😇🌷👱♀️It will be ok,she is always with you! Heaven isn't too far away from us! Trust in God and all will be well! I have lost so many people, so I know how you feel!
SHE TIED IT!! My Grandma use to tie it!! I miss my Grandma...she taught my Mom to cook. My Mama is Irish and she could cook when my Grandma finished with her 😊😊 I remember my Grandma, Aunts and Mom got in the kitchen and made an assembly line to construct every tamale! When they got all the tamales constructed my Grandma made what she called drunks out of the remaining masa and meat and we ate those because the tamales were for Christmas Eve after Mass. Those are my best memories because the following year we lost her and it still hurts my heart! As I get older I miss her so much more!! I love that y'all treasure your Mama, I hope your kiddos treasuer her even more and make many, many, many memories 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing this. My Mom passed away 2 years ago. I miss her dearly. We are American/Mexican family too. Just hearing you girls talking with your mom brought back memories of my sister and I with our Mom. She is missed. Last week my family lost a friend (my children friend) who was like an extra son to my family. He was 21 years old. Cherish theses moments and tell your family all the time that you love them. Take tons of pictures and videos. Tell your mom you want to be able to look on theses videos to see her, not just her voice. Much love to you and your family.💜💖💖
Thanks you guys, I remember a large group of women in the kitchen. Us kids would stand around and wait for the " tamales perdidos" or just being privledged to be allowed to listen to the stories and secrets spilled by my Mami and Tias. Most of them are gone now. Thank you and your Famila for continuing the tradition of our culture. You guys made me cry, a good cry.
The best Tamale vid I have ever seen!!! Detailed and authentic! I was born in TJ but adopted by my loving caucasian mother. So I never grew up with my biological food heritage... I'm a pastry chef so I love to cook and this vid will be my tamale bible for this Christmas! Keep making these "Authentic" recipes because unfortunately this newer generation of kids don't like to cook so we have pass on the tradition(heritage)! Thanks beautiful ladies for keeping it real👍😉 p.s. thanks for also making these vids in English!lol😂
Can I tell you in a world of the snippet videos being able to watch a full walk-through video was priceless for some of us who really need to see it thank you ladies this was incredible. You just earned a subscriber and I am honored to be able to try your recipe for your family has passed down.
I was part of the assembly line from the time I was 8-9. My abuela made sure I was learning from a young age. I also got in on some great chisme from the tias! Those were good days. Thanks for the videos. I love that little thin part on the end! Yum! I think I'm now the little abuela. I'm 4'9" and have little hands.
Beautiful, I teared up when you said they tasted like your mom's, you made it and you are living. Food is so important to who we are and who we become. Thank you for sharing you talent, culture and joy. Blessings on your entire family.
Gracias, I enjoyed this! Although I cried through some of it. I use to help my mom (full blooded Mexican) make Tamales. It was just meat and Masa. That's what I loved. Today is the 8th Anniversary of her passing, reason for crying 😢 I miss her Tamales so much. I do make her Molé, Menudo, Enchiladas, Rice, Tacos, etc. Have never attempted to make her Tamales though, a little different from the way you made them, but Jesus, they were good!! 😋 Thank you for bringing back memories , I have a feeling my mom sent me to this video! 😇😔😢 Always be there for Your Mother! I wish mine was still with me 🥺
I love the" old school " mentality ...woman in the house are in the kitchen cooking their cultural dish...from SCRATCH...(with LARD) together...It doesn't get better than that.
Dear Heart.... your mother is ALWAYS with you.... and, just like you said, your mother brought you and this video together to let you know she is nearby.... Maybe it is time for YOU to make Tamales .... not the same as your mother made but, YOUR VERSION of Mom's Tamales. Your Tamales will be delicious for everyone who tastes them!
I am using my time in quarantine to learn authentic Mexican recipes and your channel is a God send! My Father, Nino and Grandparents have all passed, so thank you for providing your family recipes. I can’t wait to re-introduce these traditions that have faded in previous generations.
Omg I love your personality.I really miss my sisters n brother on the holidays. I say 5b/c you have yours rat there. Thank you for showing us how to make your kind of tamales beef that is. U r rt no teens like to do anything as we grew up in the 70s n we did it all. Merry Christmas my new friends. God Bless you in the New Year coming🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, thank you for showing the part of you , your sister and mom just talking and telling stories while cooking. It reminded me of my time back back on the Rez with my family. I now live 1900 miles away from my family. It’s hard at times but just watching you with your made me feel so much better. Thank you
Crying my eyes out. My mommy has been gone 26 years. I wish we could make tamales together or anything for that matter. You girls are so blessed. Hug her for me, pero, bien fuerte.🥰💕
My mom has been gone twenty years next year and I miss her every day. She would have loved this video and we would have tried to make this together… 🙏🥰💕❤️
I like when Mom speaks English. She’s very good!!! Lucky family to speak 2 languages. So much fun to watch you cooking and loving each other! Wish I had that. Hoping to meet some Mexican friends here in Montana and cook with them and learn Spanish. Your channel is so much FUN and so happy I found it. Thank you, Margie in Montana.
I love your video and that tamales you making it it looks so delicious hard work I love tamales and my daughter but we don't know how to make it finally I watch a video and I make it hard work God bless you for doing that
Yes, ready! We are spoiled! I had a tamale lady that came to where I worked, she was wonderful, everytime she came I knew how hard she and her children worked to make those tamales, I would buy them for everyone I worked with, I wish I knew where she was today. Much respect! We have a mixed family too, I like that "a united nations family".
The first time I made tamales I had small children and I found that part tedious as well just spreading of the Maza on the corn husk. However, now that I am a grandmother and I have an empty nest I find that to be the most soothing part when I choose to make them alone it’s like my meditation zen place
That's the difference between youth and sage.... as a young woman your mind was on REV keeping up with all of the necessities of life... Now, as a sage, you've slowed down, no longer racing, and you can enjoy and appreciate, as you say, the Zen of Tamale making. If only we could embrace that Zen place in our youth we'd be much happier, much younger. At least you have found it now.... and your family will always remember Abuela's Tamales and the fragrance of your home.. and the serenity in your face.....
I use a hand mixer. Mixing by hand killed my shoulder, the hand mixer whipped the Manteca real nice. Then I slowly added the maza, chili and seasonings. I mix it until I get a peanut butter consistency. But I did grow up making them by hand like you just showed us. I remember as I got older, my mom handed me the job of blending the Manteca and maza. I’m now thinking it was probably because it was hard on my mom’s shoulders. Miss my mom and her tamales!
Judith Loera My brother is vegan and we are half Mexican PR and German but we substitute with beans/cheese, rice, you can also use jackfruit for a meat substitute, tofu, corn, carrot/sweet potato, even raisins since my family in Mexico is from Veracruz! I often google vegan/ vegetarian recipes for any ethnicity! But we love Mexican food so we are always incorporating it!hope I was of some help..
Judith Loera I made a great recipe for vegan tamales you can do veggie shortening and instead of chicken bullion u can use the better than bullion veggie one and do the sauce the same and use jack fruit for the “meat” you the jackfruit in the oven to great texture it’s amazing
I made this recipe...and i want to thank you so much...my grandmother passed away when i was just a teen and to young to cook so i never learned any of our Hispanic food recipes... I did your recipe and omg my family and co workers absolutely loved them.. Next im going to do your birria de res consome and tacos. I will let you guys know how it turns out...please never stop doing these videos it helps so much and you guys are super funny...thank you again❤
My favorite part of making tamales was when my father lived and I would be the first to taste it with him he would amasar 25 pounds of masa for Christmas it is a process so they could come out delicious now I make them for my kids and defenetly do honor your mom and dad I no longer have them with me my dad passed when I was 17 years old and my mom when I was 33 years old God bless your mom 🙏💙💙
@@Viewsontheroad Love and enjoy your mom while she is alive. Life is very difficult when you lose your mother. My mom died four years ago. I do a lot of traditional cooking to honor her.
Thank you for sharing your family recipes and keeping our Mexican tradition alive. You are doing a great job! Thank you very much I truly appreciate your lessons.
first Family they came out good but I needed a little more salt in my masa. It took like half a day and I was nervous but it was worth it. I had extra meat and made tacos with that. The meat was perfect and so flavorful. You should try this recipe. I’m making the beef birria next.
Great video. I appreciate the traditions and hard work that goes into this. I visited with a Mexican friend to see family at Christmas in Phoenix, AZ. We went to so many houses and I got to try many different kinds of delicious tamales. He is 1st generation so this was authentic foods and so so good. Each house we went to I got to see the process and the labor of love each family puts in to their tamales. They force fed us so much and I laughed and drank so much cerveza. First time I had ever been away from home for the holidays but they were all so kind and treated my daughter and I like family. ✌ & 🤘 Much Love to Phoenix.
I loved your recipe and I did use my kitchen aid mixer and it was like magic 🪄 to not have to use my hands to mix my masa. My tamales were bein sabrosos 🫔 😋I was not tired after making 5 lbs of masa and everyone wanted to eat them again and again ... thank you for sharing your recipe💃
I made my masa in the stand mixer for the first time and let me tell you, it’s the ONLY way to go. I was able to cream the manteca (lard) with the baking powder in a couple of minutes. Then I added the maseca (masa flour) and mixed that together to coat the maseca into the manteca. That was another couple of minutes. Then added the broth. I mixed until it started to float. My masa was floating in the water in probably less than 5 minutes. When I cooked it, it was the fluffiest tamal I’ve ever had. I’ll always do it this way from now on! Love the vids! I’m a new subscriber! Can you do some Mexican-Korean fusion dishes. Like maybe some bulgogi tamales? Or kalbi gorditas or something?
Thank you for this post. I was so hoping it would work. I cant make Tamale's anymore because I have had 2 c-spine surgeries because the slipped disk calcified and was cutting into my spinal cord. My neurosurgeon says he found another disk and I will probably have to go through a third surgery. I am still in pain so its hard for me to mix the Manteca and Maseca by hand.
I have to tell you we are in our late 50’s and early 60’s. I grew up in a community of Latinos. I was used to wonderful authentic Mexican cooking. I introduced it to my spouse when we went back to my hometown. Unfortunately where we live there is not very many good restaurants that sell authentic. We found you on you tube and we started making your recipes. A local restaurant tried selling Birria on a Sunday we thought we would try it. It was terrible!! You taught us how to make it much better!! Ours/yours is so good!! Thank you for your videos!! You are awesome!!!
My kids and I always talked about the sweet lady who would come around the apartment complex that we lived in selling homemade Tamales. My daughter and I had talked about trying to make some now that she has 5 beautiful children of her own. God bless you all. Not only did it bring back some memories of that sweet lady we would by a dozen from but it gave me mad respect for how much work goes into it.
When my grandma teaches me to cook... It makes me happy because I feel like it makes her immortal and I'll always be able to visit her when I make her food, and even though she taught me to keep the family recipes in the family. -I like how they say to pass it forward... Because I feel like the spirit of her mom will live that much stronger through the more people that make and eat her food 💝.
A beautiful family tradition!!! Thank you for sharing the process, and sharing your family’s love .. I’d REALLY 🧈love to taste your special tamales!! 💗💗💗 Im an 83 year old gramma, I live alone, and I enjoyed SO MUCH- feeling a bit like a part of your wonderful, loving family, as you shared one of your beautiful family traditions! Thank you SO much!!🌺💐🌷🌻🌱🌹🌴🌵🌸 God bless you all! 💗🙏🏻🕊🎉🙏🏻
This certainly is a labor of love. I'm Puerto Rican and my grandma passed before I could learn more from her. I love hearing your mom speak Spanish. Takes me back to the days my grandma was here. Thank you for taking the time to show us 💕
I'm mexican but was raised outside of the culture, but i do remember making tamales with my auntie as a kid and she made them a lot like you. It's been a very long time tho and i'm gonna make some tamales this year. I appreciate this video so much
I fell in love with your Mom. Always honor you Mom. She's a total sweetheart💕💕💕 I was a tomboy as well. I thought boys were put on this planet just for me to beat up on until I turned 16-17 years old. I was still climbing trees at 15 and playing tackle football 🏈
My favorite part is all different generations from grandma to grandaughter sitting around the table talking about different things and laughing. I mostly like hearing my mom or my aunts telling their stories of childhood or teenage years.
OMG, it was my first time making tamales and they came out beautifully!! Tasty and flavorful! thank you for the guidance and taking the time to record the process in detail. Well done ladies :)
Oh my gosh. I thought my grandma's German recipes were complicated. But ... Girl. They look fabulous. I love real regional foods. I grew up in the projects and was introduced to do many different foods. Yummy !
This updated recipe for pork tamales will help you see that although it can be a complicated recipe, it's also manageable th-cam.com/video/bt02qGQvOpg/w-d-xo.html
OMG are you even kidding me these turned out amazing and when I say amazing I mean I work with 36 people and was told that I should sell them. They lasted less than five minutes. I am the official tamale queen 👑 thank you for this wonderful video that I found yesterday
My family puts 1 green olive and 1 black olive in their tamales. I was told it was "good luck" to have both. I first had them while visiting Guatemala, and they use banana leaves instead of corn husks. Some of the best memories ever. Loved seeing your mom and you guys.
My mom and I were just watching your last recipe for the birria, and she was asking if you had a good tamales recipe! Our family recipe was lost when my tia got too ill with dementia to remember it and it was passed by word of mouth so it was never written. Since then we've just been putting things together like patchwork for the past few years and it'sjust never been right. It's not the same following a cookbook recipe because they're never authentic or even close to what my tia would make... Thank you so much for this.
I'm sorry for your family's loss. Nothing as authentic as what our family makes for us with love. You are part of my family and this recipe is for you to enjoy. If you need any help, please let us know here in the comments and I'll do my best to get you close to your loving tia's recipe. Sending lots of love to you and yours ❤️
This made me tear up. I had to cut my family out for toxic reasons and not being supportive. My mom never wanted to babysit. And very biased. And I cant wait to break the cycle and have grandkids one day to give them all the love❤
Never forget, Jesus Christ of Nazareth died for everyone for a reason, even you too. Be glad you got a mom. If you can't be tolerant she doesn't have to be either.
@@thefruitshowstheroot7844 😂😂😂😂.... This sounds like something a struggling toxic, unsupportive/narcissistic mother would say; one who likes to gaslight her kids to dismiss taking responsibility instead of working reciprocally together as a team with her kids. --Not saying you are one of those mom's... The tone just sounds a little familiar. It seems like it has an undercurrent from someone who might be offended and feeling the weight of a guilty conscience?😆? To My ladies out there: If all you ever wanted from your mother was her love.... But never got it. -Know that all of the love you seek is already your's. And you were worthy of it, and infused with it the day you were born. ....Your God always loves you. Always has and always will. --And if that's not enough,🤔 you can always get a good mother in-law to love, or adopt a sweet mom for the senior center.🤗💕
This is my family:( Mom babysits for my sisters kids, but always says "I dont know why, I am just a bad grandma to your boys". Like girl. My poor kids are so lonely. Both sets of grandparents dont care, never see them. Cutting them out this year, im done!
you guys are amazing you all remind me of my childhood running around the kitchen with my mom and aunts making tamales. Than you for that flashback into my childhood.
There was a man that had a little cart who sold homemade tamales for 50 cents that I’ll never forget. They were so good! Oh the good ol days. That was 60 years ago. 💕
You are so lucky to have mom. My mom passed. We’re Native American (Navajo) from New Mexico. We made tamales differently. I like the way you show the steps. I’m going to try it.
@@darlene675 that's good to hear.... it's nice meeting you my friend! I live in Los Angeles California USA but presently working here in Scotland UK.... it's a beautiful day here in Scotland. Where are you from???
Glad to know that CZ I'd definitely not have the passion this girl does grinding grabbing etc as I have crampy hands nerve damages anyway from racing horses handling all the push and pull driving all my beautiful babies years and years and it's just part of the labor of love calateral damages that go along with the process of living lol
Young lady, I didn’t catch your name, I enjoyed watching you do a tremendous job on these tamales. I know it’s a lot of work and you were superb, I watched the video on preparing flour tortillas. I love your channel. I love Mexican food, it’s my favorite. Keep up the fantastic job that you do. God bless you and your families during these trying times. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm a big time home cook told my food is amazing that I cook like my Granny so I am going to love to do this I'm told cooking for others makes me smile
They look so good! You put so much of your energy into them. My neighbor was Hispanic and she made wonderful tamales and would invite us to join their family after Christmas Mass to feast with them! After seeing how they are made I have even more respect and love for her!!

I made tamales for the first time a couple years ago, I live next to the border of Mexico so I'm very familiar with the flavor and types of tamales, anyhow... I made 7 dozen by myself and I used my Instant Pot to cook them in. I could fit about 30 tamales in the pot at one time and cook them in about 30 minutes. I also used Crisco instead of lard since we don't eat pork and I also used the water test but I read that if the masa sinks, then add a little more shortening until it floats and that's what I did. I also used my KitchenAid stand mixer to mix the prepared masa with the Crisco but only after I whipped the shortening first which is basically what you did in the bowl. Like you, I added papas and an olive. My tamales came out fantastic and everyone raved about them. I might make more this December.
I love that she said I have an accent and I am very proud of it! I can't wait to make these tamales for my family this Christmas. You go girls. Best Tamale video that I have seen so far.
I just want to say thank you! I can only imagine how much time it took to create this video type the description on top of making the tamales. I cannot wait to try this for my family. I live far away from all my Mexican family and if I want tamales I have to make them myself. Your video is so easy to follow you have made it completely full proof. I appreciate you so much :)
I always used to wonder why tamales only get made around Christmas until one year when I spent the day hanging out at my buddy's house when his wife and mom were making them and I was blown away by how much strait up effort and time went into them. I have mad respect for anyone who makes these now.
I make tamales with my mother in law, whom I love with all of my heart, I know I'm one of the lucky ones that has an amazing MIL, We get along so well, I even make her watch your videos, she doesn't understand English so I translate, but we also watch your channel in Spanish, she loves your recipes, my mother is in Mexico and never really had a relationship with her, my dad doesn't cook lol so my mamá postiza as I call my in law, she loves cooking, and we try to cook together when we visit on the weekends, can't wait to show her this video ❤❤, you guys are truly an amazing pair 🥰 love you both sooo much 😘
devil's favorite daughter This brought tears to my eyes. My Mother in Law was also a precious woman, and I miss her dearly. Love each other while you can! Blessings to you both!
Girl!!! You and your sister are the best entertainment ever!! Your cooking is making me fall even more madly in love with home cooked meals and wanting to be be a chef one day !! Id like to tell ya that i did use a stand mixer and it worked so well !! Thank you for sharing such special and amazing recipes!! This is way better than food network!!!
You and your sister make us feel at home. It takes a lot of work to make this quality Mexican food preparation. Your recipes are so informative down to intricate details. Thanks for sharing all of these traditional recipes with us.
When I was a kid, my mom would clear out the freezers of most of the meat that accumulated over the year. Turkey, beef, pork, chicken... these meats would all get mixed for the tamales. We would make many dozens, and eat through the holidays and freeze the extras for the first months of the year.
My day was made when I stumbled upon your video. I thought I would never find an authentic recipe for tamales. I miss visiting with my sister-in-law while she made tamales,
Hello,My new Amiga's u r Awesome & love u include your famila& Mom.I learned to cook w/ LOVE,from" Mama Herminia Medina" We had a tamale business on the side! Recipes I will share w/my Grd.kids,Memories they will Cherish Forever!😥you Mama😘
THE BEST PORK TAMALES RECIPE (ONE DOZEN) - th-cam.com/video/bt02qGQvOpg/w-d-xo.html
You did a great job on the video. My family sold tamales for year's on the corners. They were the best. FUN...❤
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me
Can you use a crockpot?
Great recipe.
Tip: you didn't mention that there is an inside and outer side of the corn husk..
I was also taught after you roll the tamal the top was folded opposite way of your fold.
Your right we all have family secrets.
Enjoyed this video so much.

I remember my first experience with Tamales. It was a act of kindness I will never forget. I had started working in a tomato cannery when I was only 16 years old. I didnt have any money for gas and it was too far to drive everyday so I was stranded at work until I received my first paycheck. I slept in my car and ate canned tomatoes of all kinds for almost a week and a half. We were working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week. I was sleeping in my car one day and I was woke up with the sound of children playing. I looked in the dirrection of the laughter and noticed the children were laughing and pointing at me in my car. A older Spanish Man came out and rounded the children up and made them go inside. I fell back asleep. A few hours later I was woke up again with a knock on my window. I looked over and seen the same Man and Children standing outside my car. I rooled down my window and was met with the most amazing smell. The Man handed me a plate full of food and walked away without saying a word. The next Child sepped up and handed me lemon aid and the next Child had spoons and forks. I was so hungry for real food at that time I could have ate without anything at all. I was so flattered by this act of kindness and I must say it changed my life. I am a better person today because of this example and I always keep my eyes open for others in need.
Happy Thanksgiving, God bless you. 🙏🦃
you have instagram?
and you konw, some idiot moron wanted to build a wall.
@@yanni9185 Not at this time. I hope to get a handle soon. I just havent had the time to venture into a new platform yet.

I am trying to impress my mother in law with Tamale making, I am Irish she is, of course, Mexican so I used your recipe and she said no Irish Girl can make Tamales like that I must be Mexican somewhere down the line...hahaha Everyone loved them, I did a few practice tries before making them for her but stood strong to your recipe. Thanks so much, now I have a little family respect. Love to all
Respect my wife is polish and irish and she trys to impress my mother and i love that from her!! She trys to involve her self everything and for that i will love and die for her she my everything

my wife and I use to make about 12 doz for Xmas. And the best part was eating them. My wife passed away 5 years ago. your family made me fill at home again. TThank You
😢 God bless you!
Prayers for you. So Glad you have those memories to hang on to ❤
James Allen Maybe next Christmas 🎄 you can make them again. I gift them to people, its such a treat & they love it. Sorry for your loss
James Allen awww I’m so sorry!!! If you lived close, I’d invite you over for tamales!!
Bless you and your wife, James. ❤️
your mom comes in like a true boss,. ..her handling of husks and masa w years of experience.
Its a privilege to watch.
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from the wrath of GOD which is spending an eternity in hell❗️
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
@@tama3442 stop cramming your religion on people, I know where to find a bible if I want one. Go lick stamps or something.
Ladies I would like to thank you for your videos. At 67 years old I have learned to make tamales. I used my kitchenaid mixer to work the dough. I did it like a cake from scratch. I creamed the lard, then added the masa , then the broth and blended well. Did the water test. It floated! I cooked to test the flavor. It was perfect. Thank you. Give a person a tamale, they wait for more. Teach them to make the tamales they become a tamale cornacupio factory . Thanks again!
Thank you for letting us know i have the early stages of arthritis in my hands and was wondering if i could usemy kitchenaid.
@@lisaalaniz1 yes
I'm 67 and I made mine like you my hands could not handle all that mixing
WOW SO GOOD VERY TASTY BRO HE MY FRIEND I HAVE MOBILE NUMBER
Did you use the unseasoned or the instant?
OMG I finally made these for my judgmental mother-in-law and they were AMAZING! She was talking smack while I was making it and trying critique me but she actually absolutely loved the finished tamales. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!😊
I’ve never seen anyone spread the masa into the corn husk with a paddle or a spatula. I’ve only seen people use their fingers to do it and it seems easier with the fingers. The olive is an interesting touch as well. Couldn’t someone break a tooth on the pit?
Myousaku sorry...meant to make a public comment
LaDonna Huckaby She stated they were not pitted olives
Myousaku Yeah Good for you!!!! 👍🏼
You are changing the behaviors for the future.
It is a very special gift you are giving the world and I am personally grateful for it. I lived out west in California where I was introduced to authentic Mexican food. I moved to CA with my two year old daughter because I was offered a good job...my next-door neighbor turned out to be an angel who came over and introduced her self the first day I moved in she was an older woman who spoke very little English but we managed to communicate very well...The whole family sort of adopted me ...I paid her to watch my daughter while I worked..She was seriously the cleanest person I had ever seen..if she had t change my daughter's clothes they would be freshly washed and folded. I felt so lucky to have such top-notch child care she really seemed to love my daughter as her own granddaughter. There was a time when I was working so much my daughter spoke more Spanish than English. This beautiful Matriarch made breakfast lunch and dinner from scratch everything fresh. I loved sitting around doing the tamale filling which was already made I never had a chance to watch her make it. I grew up in foster care and this family showed me what it felt like to have a loving family....they taught me so much! I am so glad you are sharing how to make these as my daughter called the woman Abuela and saw her as her own Grandmother . Abuela passed on a few years ago..my daughter still talks to the family and misses her Abuela...I am so excited to make these for my daughter
Beautiful touching story❤🖤
Wow beautiful story
Beautiful story
Beautiful story.❣️
What a lovely story. You can pay her tribute by continuing her culture with your daughter. Not only the food but her love. Blessings to you and your daughter
This is the best tutorial for making Tamales I’ve watched. The extra love and attention to the seasoning for the Tamales is worth the effort.

This literally had me in tears, remembering my grandma teaching me and my sis how to make tortillas de harina. Unfortunately my sis passed away 3 yrs ago. This is why I love watching you guys... It makes me wish I still had her here, but also makes me thankful I got to make special memories with her. 🥰
Sorry, Itzel, for your loss. God bless.
This touches my heart. I lost all my family in 2 years because all I had was older people raising me. I miss these times too. I feel like these ladies are my new family for real. Makes me wanna cry too💛💛💛

@@suescruggs6195 she is but her mom is in this video too near the middle of the video shes wearing the blue apron
This is the first time I have seen someone actually go into detail and explain every move she has made, Fantastic job, well done, thank you
Whoaaaa, sooooo much work/love went into those!! I never KNEW they were THAT MUCH work. Much respect.
Hi there! FIRST This was the first time ever I made Tamales! Your step by step directions are spot on! In your video you said, if you can make the masa in your stand mixer I want to know how. Well, I injured my hand, had to have stiches so I used my 6Qt Bowl Professional Kitchen aide mixer. This is what I did. I put the shortening in the bowl with the whisk attachment and let that puppy fly! I beat it until it had the consistency of yours, that took about 5 - 10 minutes on high, stopping to scrape down the sides. I then added my masa dough a little at at time, with a little of the broth, making sure it was smooth before adding more. This step took about 15 minutes. I checked periodically with the "float" test. They came out fluffy, soft and FULL of Flavor. My grandson (13 months) had 2, and my daughters and husband are having an early dinner, because they can't wait. THANK YOU for a WONDERFUL video! THANK YOU for a WONDERFUL RECIPE! THANK YOU for SHARING your love of cooking!
BTW These tamales were a Valentines Day gift for my husband of 34 years. HE is a happy camper!
Thank you for sharing your stand mixer times, I think I’ll need to use a mixer because of my sore hands. Muchas gracias ☺️
Thank you for sharing!
Espectacular todo yo también voy hacer tamales y espero me salgan así de rico como los tuyos gracias 🙏 Dios las bendiga.
Well thank u I have arthritis and I wanted to add my stand mixer.so thanks for the info
Thank you so much for adding these mixer times… I’m disabled & there’s no way I could do this by hand… I can’t cook on most nights & will have to save up my energy and get help for this, but I want so much to try this, if even just once, because they look AMAZING ❤️🥰
I love this. I am an Icelandic but I was married to a mexican and my ex motherinlaw thought me how to cook mexican food and now I am the best Icelandic cook cooking mexican food. I am going to make this for xmas. Thank you
Elisbet Nonnu, How did you Christmas Tamales turn out?
I am from New Mexico, and we put green chile, chicken, queso fresco in some, and pork with hot red chile and dice onion in some. Then you ask for some red and some green. Growing up in a large Mexican family, our tamaladas every year was legendary. We made hundreds every year! This recipe is very different from how we made it, and I'm so excited to try it!
Yes girl same here. I’m from New Mexico as well. Moved to Texas a few years ago. I miss my family’s tamales.
Peas in tamales. Weird
I'm a new gringo Mexican I live in New Mexico and I love the Spanish food!!!
I do it the easy way......I order mine from Texas Lone Starr tamales in Texas. They ship right to my door steps in Georgia. We visted San Antonio about 25 years ago and came accross a tamale factory , bought some and ate them off the hood of our car, been ordering tamales ever since.
@@samanthalewis9671 do you know how long the dried chilies last before they go bad?
I have watched ever tamale video you have ever put out at least 2 to 3 times! I keep learning from each way you do it. Your Mom joining us is such a wonderful treat!!!
I love that your mother came to join you. Please tell her she has a beautiful voice and it is a blessing to us to learn from her.
My new daughter in law is Mexican American. Her mom speaks some English- I have been using DuoLingo to learn Spanish. I am also using your channel to learn the language and to learn about the Mexican American culture in this country. Their wedding ceremony is in May and I want to understand my son’s new family and be able to make myself understood, also. Please bear in mind - I grew up in Northern Maine, very close to the Canadian border. I just love my new daughter in law and her mother has been like a real Mom to my son (I live in PA & they are in Colorado) it comforts me so much to know that he is so loved while so far away.
You may have grown up in Maine but that still doesn't make you Canadian.
I couldn't go home to California for Christmas this year so I decided to cook a Mexican Christmas dinner for the anglo family I live with here in Baltimore. I was able to make tamales that rival anything I grew up eating and I was so proud to be able to provide that experience for them and their children. Your video was the reason I was able to do that. I can't thank you enough for that. Dios le bendiga usted y su familia 🙏
I think I love your mom! My mom died several years ago so just listening to her brings on the tears. I'm hearing my mom all over again. God Bless you momma I think you need to show her, not just her hands!
My favorite part is when your Mama joined in. My Mama passed away and it reminds me of making them with her. God bless you❤️
M no one
🌷😇🌷👱♀️It will be ok,she is always with you! Heaven isn't too far away from us! Trust in God and all will be well! I have lost so many people, so I know how you feel!
SHE TIED IT!! My Grandma use to tie it!! I miss my Grandma...she taught my Mom to cook. My Mama is Irish and she could cook when my Grandma finished with her 😊😊
I remember my Grandma, Aunts and Mom got in the kitchen and made an assembly line to construct every tamale! When they got all the tamales constructed my Grandma made what she called drunks out of the remaining masa and meat and we ate those because the tamales were for Christmas Eve after Mass. Those are my best memories because the following year we lost her and it still hurts my heart! As I get older I miss her so much more!! I love that y'all treasure your Mama, I hope your kiddos treasuer her even more and make many, many, many memories 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Do you mean she tied each tamal with a thin strip of corn husk? I've seen them done that way, but it doesn't seem to be traditional in Sonora.
You know even when I'm having a tough day, I can always come here and enjoy both of you! You ladies make my day! Thank you both for all you do!
Me too when I go to bed. I put my ear bugs and go to town, binging on her vedio s
Great job. Can't wait to try them
Thank you for sharing this. My Mom passed away 2 years ago. I miss her dearly. We are American/Mexican family too. Just hearing you girls talking with your mom brought back memories of my sister and I with our Mom. She is missed.
Last week my family lost a friend (my children friend) who was like an extra son to my family. He was 21 years old.
Cherish theses moments and tell your family all the time that you love them. Take tons of pictures and videos. Tell your mom you want to be able to look on theses videos to see her, not just her voice. Much love to you and your family.💜💖💖
Thanks you guys, I remember a large group of women in the kitchen. Us kids would stand around and wait for the " tamales perdidos" or just being privledged to be allowed to listen to the stories and secrets spilled by my Mami and Tias. Most of them are gone now. Thank you and your Famila for continuing the tradition of our culture. You guys made me cry, a good cry.

The best Tamale vid I have ever seen!!! Detailed and authentic! I was born in TJ but adopted by my loving caucasian mother. So I never grew up with my biological food heritage... I'm a pastry chef so I love to cook and this vid will be my tamale bible for this Christmas! Keep making these "Authentic" recipes because unfortunately this newer generation of kids don't like to cook so we have pass on the tradition(heritage)! Thanks beautiful ladies for keeping it real👍😉 p.s. thanks for also making these vids in English!lol😂
U should make some cooking videos....
Props to your mom!!! She raised two wonderful daughters!!! That is extremely difficult in these times! Love you and your family. 💕💕💕
Can I tell you in a world of the snippet videos being able to watch a full walk-through video was priceless for some of us who really need to see it thank you ladies this was incredible. You just earned a subscriber and I am honored to be able to try your recipe for your family has passed down.
I miss my grandmother so much hearing you talk together back and forth between Spanish and English brings back so many memories. Love it.
I was part of the assembly line from the time I was 8-9. My abuela made sure I was learning from a young age. I also got in on some great chisme from the tias! Those were good days. Thanks for the videos. I love that little thin part on the end! Yum! I think I'm now the little abuela. I'm 4'9" and have little hands.
🤣🤣🤣 el chisme de las tías
Beautiful, I teared up when you said they tasted like your mom's, you made it and you are living. Food is so important to who we are and who we become. Thank you for sharing you talent, culture and joy. Blessings on your entire family.
Gracias, I enjoyed this! Although I cried through some of it. I use to help my mom (full blooded Mexican) make Tamales. It was just meat and Masa. That's what I loved. Today is the 8th Anniversary of her passing, reason for crying 😢
I miss her Tamales so much. I do make her Molé, Menudo, Enchiladas, Rice, Tacos, etc. Have never attempted to make her Tamales though, a little different from the way you made them, but Jesus, they were good!! 😋 Thank you for bringing back memories , I have a feeling my mom sent me to this video! 😇😔😢
Always be there for Your Mother!
I wish mine was still with me 🥺
I love the" old school " mentality ...woman in the house are in the kitchen cooking their cultural dish...from SCRATCH...(with LARD) together...It doesn't get better than that.
Seasoned pots and pans🙆♀️...stories and every thing! 🤷♀️Pass it on young folks🤗
Dear Heart.... your mother is ALWAYS with you....
and, just like you said, your mother brought you and this video together to let you know she is nearby....
Maybe it is time for YOU to make Tamales ....
not the same as your mother made but, YOUR VERSION of Mom's Tamales.
Your Tamales will be delicious for everyone who tastes them!
God Bless you, I cried too. I'm grateful my mom is still here. I think she'll out live her kids. My heart goes out to you.
Let her soul rest in peace. Stay strong.
I am using my time in quarantine to learn authentic Mexican recipes and your channel is a God send! My Father, Nino and Grandparents have all passed, so thank you for providing your family recipes. I can’t wait to re-introduce these traditions that have faded in previous generations.
I made your flan with my nieces last month and it turned out perfect!!!
👍
OMG!! I never knew how labor intensive Tamales were...humbled😔
Ah, I loved seeing your mom and hearing her stories. Life is all about Family, Food, and Friends.
Omg I love your personality.I really miss my sisters n brother on the holidays. I say 5b/c you have yours rat there. Thank you for showing us how to make your kind of tamales beef that is. U r rt no teens like to do anything as we grew up in the 70s n we did it all. Merry Christmas my new friends. God Bless you in the New Year coming🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, thank you for showing the part of you , your sister and mom just talking and telling stories while cooking. It reminded me of my time back back on the Rez with my family. I now live 1900 miles away from my family. It’s hard at times but just watching you with your made me feel so much better. Thank you
Crying my eyes out. My mommy has been gone 26 years. I wish we could make tamales together or anything for that matter. You girls are so blessed. Hug her for me, pero, bien fuerte.🥰💕
My mom has been gone twenty years next year and I miss her every day. She would have loved this video and we would have tried to make this together… 🙏🥰💕❤️
I like when Mom speaks English. She’s very good!!! Lucky family to speak 2 languages. So much fun to watch you cooking and loving each other! Wish I had that. Hoping to meet some Mexican friends here in Montana and cook with them and learn Spanish. Your channel is so much FUN and so happy I found it. Thank you, Margie in Montana.
I love your video and that tamales you making it it looks so delicious hard work I love tamales and my daughter but we don't know how to make it finally I watch a video and I make it hard work God bless you for doing that
I love seeing authentic recipes being made! Beautiful work!!
Omg Thank you ladies! For years I’ve been asking my Mexican friends to let me come and learn from them! You ladies have been better friends to me! 😝
Hello I just started a Tamale business with your recipe, selling 4 dozen, every week, thank you
@Omar E Anzueto, where do you sell your Tamales, and for how much??
While this looks incredible, hearing you with your Mother is so special.
Thank you to all 3 of you for inviting us in!
Yes, ready! We are spoiled!
I had a tamale lady that came to where I worked, she was wonderful, everytime she came I knew how hard she and her children worked to make those tamales, I would buy them for everyone I worked with, I wish I knew where she was today.
Much respect!
We have a mixed family too, I like that "a united nations family".
The first time I made tamales I had small children and I found that part tedious as well just spreading of the Maza on the corn husk. However, now that I am a grandmother and I have an empty nest I find that to be the most soothing part when I choose to make them alone it’s like my meditation zen place
Children ruin *_EVERYTHING_* !! just kidding!
That's the difference between youth and sage.... as a young woman your mind was on REV keeping up with all of the necessities of life...
Now, as a sage, you've slowed down, no longer racing, and you can enjoy and appreciate, as you say, the Zen of Tamale making.
If only we could embrace that Zen place in our youth we'd be much happier, much younger.
At least you have found it now.... and your family will always remember Abuela's Tamales and the fragrance of your home.. and the serenity in your face.....
I am the same way about my children and grandchildren.
I can take my time, when I do make my tamales by myself 😋.
Si es theraputic but also tedioso and rewarding jaja
I use a hand mixer. Mixing by hand killed my shoulder, the hand mixer whipped the Manteca real nice. Then I slowly added the maza, chili and seasonings. I mix it until I get a peanut butter consistency. But I did grow up making them by hand like you just showed us. I remember as I got older, my mom handed me the job of blending the Manteca and maza. I’m now thinking it was probably because it was hard on my mom’s shoulders. Miss my mom and her tamales!
Thank you! I want to make these, but my shoulder is bad. I'm glad to know it will work with a KA.
I was just going to ask if she ever used a mixer. Seems like a viable option for both the masa as well as shredding the beef.
Hi friend can you make some vegan tamales or vegan Mexican food
Judith Loera My brother is vegan and we are half Mexican PR and German but we substitute with beans/cheese, rice, you can also use jackfruit for a meat substitute, tofu, corn, carrot/sweet potato, even raisins since my family in Mexico is from Veracruz! I often google vegan/ vegetarian recipes for any ethnicity! But we love Mexican food so we are always incorporating it!hope I was of some help..
Judith Loera I made a great recipe for vegan tamales you can do veggie shortening and instead of chicken bullion u can use the better than bullion veggie one and do the sauce the same and use jack fruit for the “meat” you the jackfruit in the oven to great texture it’s amazing
I did it. I made exactly 6 doz. you made me look professional. They are delicious. Thank you so much for all your tips and cooking ideas.
That’s another recipe I was looking for. You’re great, I like the way you’re making it and the way you explained everything,👍👏👏
I made this recipe...and i want to thank you so much...my grandmother passed away when i was just a teen and to young to cook so i never learned any of our Hispanic food recipes... I did your recipe and omg my family and co workers absolutely loved them..
Next im going to do your birria de res consome and tacos. I will let you guys know how it turns out...please never stop doing these videos it helps so much and you guys are super funny...thank you again❤
My favorite part of making tamales was when my father lived and I would be the first to taste it with him he would amasar 25 pounds of masa for Christmas it is a process so they could come out delicious now I make them for my kids and defenetly do honor your mom and dad I no longer have them with me my dad passed when I was 17 years old and my mom when I was 33 years old God bless your mom 🙏💙💙
TFS! bless your heart amiga. My mother is our queen and we do our best to keep her happy and enjoy as much as we can.
Sorry for your Lost 💜
Maria Elena Alonso .....you have my deepest sympathy. May your life be joyous in the abundance of peace.
@@Viewsontheroad Love and enjoy your mom while she is alive. Life is very difficult when you lose your mother. My mom died four years ago. I do a lot of traditional cooking to honor her.
I just offered to make tamales for my dad
He said, " What? You can't make them!" 😯😂🤣
I said, "Yes I can!!" LOL
Thanks for the help!! 😃💖💖💖
You got this! Play some good music and show up amiga. I'm so excited for you ❤️
How did yours turn out?
Thank you for sharing your family recipes and keeping our Mexican tradition alive. You are doing a great job! Thank you very much I truly appreciate your lessons.
Pray for me I’m trying this recipe tonight. Thank you for sharing it! 💕
You got this, amiga💕
Views on the road thank you!
first Family they came out good but I needed a little more salt in my masa. It took like half a day and I was nervous but it was worth it. I had extra meat and made tacos with that. The meat was perfect and so flavorful. You should try this recipe. I’m making the beef birria next.
@@pixystix1980 awesome. Kuddos to u Chika❤
Sandy Esparza thank you!
Great video. I appreciate the traditions and hard work that goes into this.
I visited with a Mexican friend to see family at Christmas in Phoenix, AZ. We went to so many houses and I got to try many different kinds of delicious tamales. He is 1st generation so this was authentic foods and so so good. Each house we went to I got to see the process and the labor of love each family puts in to their tamales. They force fed us so much and I laughed and drank so much cerveza. First time I had ever been away from home for the holidays but they were all so kind and treated my daughter and I like family.
✌ & 🤘 Much Love to Phoenix.
These tamales have me cryingggg i didnt realize how nostalgic and surrounded by love tamales were
I loved your recipe and I did use my kitchen aid mixer and it was like magic 🪄 to not have to use my hands to mix my masa. My tamales were bein sabrosos 🫔 😋I was not tired after making 5 lbs of masa and everyone wanted to eat them again and again ... thank you for sharing your recipe💃
Hello from Scotland 🏴 How are you doing today? I hope it's been a nice day? Happy new year wishes to you and family 🎊💞🎊
My condolencias to James, peace be with you.
Love listening to your moms stories as she helps in the kitchen with her daughters🙋🏾♀️🥰
I made my masa in the stand mixer for the first time and let me tell you, it’s the ONLY way to go. I was able to cream the manteca (lard) with the baking powder in a couple of minutes. Then I added the maseca (masa flour) and mixed that together to coat the maseca into the manteca. That was another couple of minutes. Then added the broth. I mixed until it started to float. My masa was floating in the water in probably less than 5 minutes. When I cooked it, it was the fluffiest tamal I’ve ever had. I’ll always do it this way from now on!
Love the vids! I’m a new subscriber! Can you do some Mexican-Korean fusion dishes. Like maybe some bulgogi tamales? Or kalbi gorditas or something?
Thank you for this post. I was so hoping it would work. I cant make Tamale's anymore because I have had 2 c-spine surgeries because the slipped disk calcified and was cutting into my spinal cord. My neurosurgeon says he found another disk and I will probably have to go through a third surgery. I am still in pain so its hard for me to mix the Manteca and Maseca by hand.
OMG you are a lifesaver! Thank you for posting on here cause I don’t know if I could do it by hand with 4 kids running around😅
I made mine in the stand mixer as well.
Can you make a video doing it that way?
@@RayneZaleska Which attachment did you use, please?
You're wonderful at teaching us how to do things. You're very patient as well
I have to tell you we are in our late 50’s and early 60’s. I grew up in a community of Latinos. I was used to wonderful authentic Mexican cooking. I introduced it to my spouse when we went back to my hometown. Unfortunately where we live there is not very many good restaurants that sell authentic. We found you on you tube and we started making your recipes. A local restaurant tried selling Birria on a Sunday we thought we would try it. It was terrible!! You taught us how to make it much better!! Ours/yours is so good!! Thank you for your videos!! You are awesome!!!
My kids and I always talked about the sweet lady who would come around the apartment complex that we lived in selling homemade Tamales. My daughter and I had talked about trying to make some now that she has 5 beautiful children of her own. God bless you all. Not only did it bring back some memories of that sweet lady we would by a dozen from but it gave me mad respect for how much work goes into it.
I've never met your mom, but I love her already. Wish we had more like her.
I love the fact that you guys share recipes and request to pay it forward 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
When my grandma teaches me to cook... It makes me happy because I feel like it makes her immortal and I'll always be able to visit her when I make her food, and even though she taught me to keep the family recipes in the family.
-I like how they say to pass it forward... Because I feel like the spirit of her mom will live that much stronger through the more people that make and eat her food 💝.
A beautiful family tradition!!! Thank you for sharing the process, and sharing your family’s love .. I’d REALLY 🧈love to taste your special tamales!! 💗💗💗
Im an 83 year old gramma, I live alone, and I enjoyed SO MUCH- feeling a bit like a part of your wonderful, loving family, as you shared one of your beautiful family traditions! Thank you SO much!!🌺💐🌷🌻🌱🌹🌴🌵🌸
God bless you all! 💗🙏🏻🕊🎉🙏🏻
I can't wait to try this! I have never seen the masa made like this. I'm super excited!
Yes me as well
There’s nothing like Mama’s cooking, passing down, that’s true tradition ❤❤❤😊
This certainly is a labor of love. I'm Puerto Rican and my grandma passed before I could learn more from her. I love hearing your mom speak Spanish. Takes me back to the days my grandma was here. Thank you for taking the time to show us 💕
I love it u mom needs her own video 😘💞❣️
That was a fun video. I feel like I just spent the afternoon with a lovely family. Thank you. I'm here by myself while my family is out of town.
You are the best teacher of authentic Mexican food. I enjoy your videos. Thank you so much. I love you two too.
I'm mexican but was raised outside of the culture, but i do remember making tamales with my auntie as a kid and she made them a lot like you. It's been a very long time tho and i'm gonna make some tamales this year. I appreciate this video so much
I fell in love with your Mom. Always honor you Mom. She's a total sweetheart💕💕💕 I was a tomboy as well. I thought boys were put on this planet just for me to beat up on until I turned 16-17 years old. I was still climbing trees at 15 and playing tackle football 🏈
Lisa Thomas lmaoooo!!!
(Last sentence) same!!!😂
🤗 Ditto!♥️
LOVE seeing your mom in the kitchen 😍 This is what cooking is all about bringing the family together ❤
Igual y ivvco
My favorite part is all different generations from grandma to grandaughter sitting around the table talking about different things and laughing. I mostly like hearing my mom or my aunts telling their stories of childhood or teenage years.
Best video. Love the relationship you, your sister and mother have. Thanks for sharing.
OMG, it was my first time making tamales and they came out beautifully!! Tasty and flavorful! thank you for the guidance and taking the time to record the process in detail. Well done ladies :)
Oh my gosh. I thought my grandma's German recipes were complicated. But ... Girl. They look fabulous. I love real regional foods. I grew up in the projects and was introduced to do many different foods. Yummy !
This updated recipe for pork tamales will help you see that although it can be a complicated recipe, it's also manageable

You should see the mole... the most ingredients recipe/dish that I know of, thus far.
(Although some Asian recipes have many ingredients as well.)
OMG are you even kidding me these turned out amazing and when I say amazing I mean I work with 36 people and was told that I should sell them. They lasted less than five minutes. I am the official tamale queen 👑 thank you for this wonderful video that I found yesterday
Watching again!!! I love this video. Love how your Mom is an expert at spreading the masa. Her English is excellent!!!!
My family puts 1 green olive and 1 black olive in their tamales. I was told it was "good luck" to have both. I first had them while visiting Guatemala, and they use banana leaves instead of corn husks. Some of the best memories ever. Loved seeing your mom and you guys.
My mom and I were just watching your last recipe for the birria, and she was asking if you had a good tamales recipe! Our family recipe was lost when my tia got too ill with dementia to remember it and it was passed by word of mouth so it was never written. Since then we've just been putting things together like patchwork for the past few years and it'sjust never been right. It's not the same following a cookbook recipe because they're never authentic or even close to what my tia would make... Thank you so much for this.
I'm sorry for your family's loss. Nothing as authentic as what our family makes for us with love. You are part of my family and this recipe is for you to enjoy. If you need any help, please let us know here in the comments and I'll do my best to get you close to your loving tia's recipe. Sending lots of love to you and yours ❤️
@@Viewsontheroad Thank you so much for the support
These are delicious with a fried egg for breakfast. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes.
Aweee this is why I love being with grandmas and aunties! Such fun stories!
This made me tear up. I had to cut my family out for toxic reasons and not being supportive. My mom never wanted to babysit. And very biased. And I cant wait to break the cycle and have grandkids one day to give them all the love❤
Same💝. I was just thinking maybe I can get my younger cousins an sister together since Idk where my mom is.
Never forget, Jesus Christ of Nazareth died for everyone for a reason, even you too. Be glad you got a mom. If you can't be tolerant she doesn't have to be either.
@@thefruitshowstheroot7844 😂😂😂😂.... This sounds like something a struggling toxic, unsupportive/narcissistic mother would say; one who likes to gaslight her kids to dismiss taking responsibility instead of working reciprocally together as a team with her kids.
--Not saying you are one of those mom's... The tone just sounds a little familiar. It seems like it has an undercurrent from someone who might be offended and feeling the weight of a guilty conscience?😆?
To My ladies out there: If all you ever wanted from your mother was her love.... But never got it. -Know that all of the love you seek is already your's. And you were worthy of it, and infused with it the day you were born. ....Your God always loves you. Always has and always will.
--And if that's not enough,🤔 you can always get a good mother in-law to love, or adopt a sweet mom for the senior center.🤗💕
This is my family:( Mom babysits for my sisters kids, but always says "I dont know why, I am just a bad grandma to your boys". Like girl. My poor kids are so lonely. Both sets of grandparents dont care, never see them. Cutting them out this year, im done!
Hope you are able to reconnect with your folks some day soon! God Bless. Sandee @ My Ajji's Kitchen
you guys are amazing you all remind me of my childhood running around the kitchen with my mom and aunts making tamales. Than you for that flashback into my childhood.
There was a man that had a little cart who sold homemade tamales for 50 cents that I’ll never forget. They were so good! Oh the good ol days. That was 60 years ago. 💕
You are so lucky to have mom. My mom passed. We’re Native American (Navajo) from New Mexico. We made tamales differently. I like the way you show the steps. I’m going to try it.
Hello from Scotland 🏴 How are you doing today? I hope it's been a nice day? Happy new year wishes to you and family 🎊💞🎊
@@samuelvasquez2845gmailcom it's cold and it's been snowing. I just got done shoveling snow off the porch for someone. And I'm doing well.
@@darlene675 that's good to hear.... it's nice meeting you my friend! I live in Los Angeles California USA but presently working here in Scotland UK.... it's a beautiful day here in Scotland.
Where are you from???
I’ve made my tamales using my Kitchen Aid to fluff and mix the masa. Turns out fabulous!
Thank you for letting us know. I am not able to stand up and work that hard by hand. This is great news!!
I agree we should use all the shortcuts we can!
I was wondering about that very thing. Using a food processor to "fluff" the lard and a kitchen aid stand mixer to make the masa. Sounds good to me.
How long?
Glad to know that CZ I'd definitely not have the passion this girl does grinding grabbing etc as I have crampy hands nerve damages anyway from racing horses handling all the push and pull driving all my beautiful babies years and years and it's just part of the labor of love calateral damages that go along with the process of living lol
Young lady, I didn’t catch your name, I enjoyed watching you do a tremendous job on these tamales. I know it’s a lot of work and you were superb, I watched the video on preparing flour tortillas. I love your channel. I love Mexican food, it’s my favorite. Keep up the fantastic job that you do. God bless you and your families during these trying times. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
The thing is called a washboard.
I'm a big time home cook told my food is amazing that I cook like my Granny so I am going to love to do this I'm told cooking for others makes me smile
They look so good! You put so much of your energy into them. My neighbor was Hispanic and she made wonderful tamales and would invite us to join their family after Christmas Mass to feast with them! After seeing how they are made I have even more respect and love for her!!
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from the wrath of GOD which is spending an eternity in hell❗️
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
❤ I enjoyed this video and the family time you shared with your Mother ❤ Such a blessing to have her
I made tamales for the first time a couple years ago, I live next to the border of Mexico so I'm very familiar with the flavor and types of tamales, anyhow... I made 7 dozen by myself and I used my Instant Pot to cook them in. I could fit about 30 tamales in the pot at one time and cook them in about 30 minutes. I also used Crisco instead of lard since we don't eat pork and I also used the water test but I read that if the masa sinks, then add a little more shortening until it floats and that's what I did. I also used my KitchenAid stand mixer to mix the prepared masa with the Crisco but only after I whipped the shortening first which is basically what you did in the bowl. Like you, I added papas and an olive. My tamales came out fantastic and everyone raved about them. I might make more this December.
I was wondering if we could use the instant pot and the kitchen aid. Can you tell I don’t mind short cuts as long as the end results are just as good?
Daena Smith Thank you for the suggestions!
I love that she said I have an accent and I am very proud of it! I can't wait to make these tamales for my family this Christmas. You go girls. Best Tamale video that I have seen so far.
Oh my goodness those look delicious.I have never seen them made before. Have a great respect for the love and work making them.
I just want to say thank you! I can only imagine how much time it took to create this video type the description on top of making the tamales. I cannot wait to try this for my family. I live far away from all my Mexican family and if I want tamales I have to make them myself. Your video is so easy to follow you have made it completely full proof. I appreciate you so much :)
I have a whole new appreciation for tamales- a true labor of love behind them.
I always used to wonder why tamales only get made around Christmas until one year when I spent the day hanging out at my buddy's house when his wife and mom were making them and I was blown away by how much strait up effort and time went into them. I have mad respect for anyone who makes these now.
At the end with Mom was best. Maybe do it that way for myself. Made me miss my Grandma.
I make tamales with my mother in law, whom I love with all of my heart, I know I'm one of the lucky ones that has an amazing MIL,
We get along so well, I even make her watch your videos, she doesn't understand English so I translate, but we also watch your channel in Spanish, she loves your recipes, my mother is in Mexico and never really had a relationship with her, my dad doesn't cook lol so my mamá postiza as I call my in law, she loves cooking, and we try to cook together when we visit on the weekends, can't wait to show her this video ❤❤, you guys are truly an amazing pair 🥰 love you both sooo much 😘
devil's favorite daughter This brought tears to my eyes. My Mother in Law was also a precious woman, and I miss her dearly. Love each other while you can! Blessings to you both!
me too! I lesrned from my MIL too! I adore mine also. We are blessed
Girl!!! You and your sister are the best entertainment ever!! Your cooking is making me fall even more madly in love with home cooked meals and wanting to be be a chef one day !! Id like to tell ya that i did use a stand mixer and it worked so well !! Thank you for sharing such special and amazing recipes!! This is way better than food network!!!
So how long did you use the stand mixer for 1st for the lard and then adding the Masa
You and your sister make us feel at home. It takes a lot of work to make this quality Mexican food preparation. Your recipes are so informative down to intricate details. Thanks for sharing all of these traditional recipes with us.
My favorite cooking channel for real!!!!
Cloud asks all the right questions for us viewers love you both....
When I was a kid, my mom would clear out the freezers of most of the meat that accumulated over the year. Turkey, beef, pork, chicken... these meats would all get mixed for the tamales. We would make many dozens, and eat through the holidays and freeze the extras for the first months of the year.
My day was made when I stumbled upon your video. I thought I would never find an authentic recipe for tamales. I miss visiting with my sister-in-law while she made tamales,
Hello,My new Amiga's u r Awesome & love u include your famila& Mom.I learned to cook w/ LOVE,from" Mama Herminia Medina" We had a tamale business on the side! Recipes I will share w/my Grd.kids,Memories they will Cherish Forever!😥you Mama😘
