Made these last night. My first time ever! Watched dozens of videos to do research and yours was by far the most helpful and the recipe I decided to use. Thank you SO much they were AMAZING and I am so excited to share these with my loved ones.
Out of all the vegan tamales videos I've seen, this one intrigues me the most. I have had jackfruit before and can see it imitating fake pork. My sister and I plan to make tamales this season (without our parents who went to Mexico to visit their family) and I am hoping to try these out! I will let you know how they turn out!
FINALLY.. I found the best vegan tamale recipe. Thank you so much! You're so cute and pretty! I have never made tamales before, but I absolutely love them and ever since i've been vegan It's been a long time since I had one so most high willing when I do make these they will turn out great, just like yours! Blessings
Thank you so much for your recipes! I made both over the weekend! They came out beautifully!! I gave some to my Daughter in Law, whose family is Mexican and makes the most delicious tamales. I haven’t been able to enjoy them since choosing to eat a vegan diet. I gave some to her and she raved! She said she would not be able to tell that they were vegan if she didn’t know. She said the masa texture was perfect! Thank you so much - can’t wait to make more of your beautiful recipes!!
I’m allergic to meat and all animal products, my body basically forced me to become vegan, my family is hispanic and they still make most meals with animal products so it’s hard on me. I just want to express that I’m so grateful for your channel, thank you for making Hispanic vegan meals accurately I literally love you ❤️❤️❤️
Just started watching your vlogs. I followed your instruction for cooking jackfruit. Tonite, I made a jackfruit tostada, it came out so very yummy. I loaded it with rice, retried beans, jackfruit, vegan cheese and some vegan sour cream , shredded lettuce. Thank you, thank you!
New subscriber. Love your content and will support you! Not related. Your nails look like mine after 2 days of polish🤣 bet because you cook and wash them often. Tried the sticker polish? Anyway, don't know if you make other type of vids but I'd watch if you did. BTW Beautiful makeup
I have been wanting to be vegan for two years now, I just felt very discouraged, but you literally gave me hope again! I’m so glad I found your channel!
Thank you! Your channel has been a blessing for me. I can be vegetarian and still feel connected to my culture. Have you ever thought about making a video discussing your decision to becoming vegan and your families response? My Mexican fam thought I was crazy for becoming vegetarian.
thank you!! I'm making these right now and keep referencing your video! I just tasted the sauce and OMG so good! i added a lil liquid smoke to it and some chipotle powder
Hey I made these! They were really good. I am going to try your rajas and cheese. I love using Myokos mozzarella- I use that for vegan chiles rellenos too. Soo good!
I made your recipe this past weekend and oh my goodness! They were so delicious! It was my very first time making tamales too. My husband and non vegan family also loved them too. One question, how long can I freeze the tamales for? Thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipe! Can’t wait to see more recipes from you!☺️
I just subbed 🤗, I never understood the continuous rolling of the tamales and appreciate your method. I am about to make my first batch soon. Your videos are well put together and explained. Thank you, Merry Christmas!
Thank you for watching ❤️ This method is great for jackfruit in brine because many people have access to it & it’s difficult to make it neutral tasting without this method BUT if you jackfruit in water has a neutral flavor out of the can ready to cook, then yes you can skip it! Good luck 🌱☺️
Do you happen to know if this sauce freezes well? Want to make a large batch for some tamales I’m making in a few weeks but wanted to try the sauce out now for some tacos just to taste it. Thank you!
Oh man I just rewatched this video and I'm totally going to make tamales soon only El Salvadorian style. It's been almost 5 years since going vegan and I haven't attempted it.
Thank you 🥰 & to be honest I don’t remember! I used to be a makeup artist, so I have way too many lipsticks! It might have been from sugarpill or katvond beauty 👀
Yes! ❤️ I freeze mine too 3-6 months tops. When reheating them, thaw in the fridge a day before & steam 15-20 minutes. If you reheat from frozen, do 25-30 minutes 💕😚
Airam, to soften the guajillos do you boil for the full 10-15 minutes, or bring to a boil and then simmer at a lower temp for the 10-15? I want to make the big version. I am assuming the sauce can be portioned and frozen.
Yes you can! Usually used for sweet corn tamales. I would suggest soaking them overnight or in hot water for an hour or so. Just until they are pliable! :)
I’m so excited to make these! What an amazing recipe and I love how much of a perfectionist you were. I’m the same way! Awesome vid!!! Happy holidays. :-)
Do you have hot sauce recipes like the exact kind of the taco shops give with their orders. Like what kind of chilies do we use and how do we make that red hot sauce
Yes I do! I have 2. Here’s the link to the videos with the recipes! Brown salsa: (My fav) th-cam.com/video/4Wr8nORXLEc/w-d-xo.html Mild Green Salsa th-cam.com/video/A9rTWYF0aE4/w-d-xo.html & A red one will be out soon! 💕 But for salsa rojo you use chile de arbol love
Sooooo I actually made the 40 guajillo recipe bc I didn't read closer 😅 and I was wondering what can I do with the leftover guajillo sauce that isn't as time consuming to make like tamales? Help would be greatly appreciated lol. Also this recipe was delicious!
Hi love! You can make my pastor recipe that uses the same sauce! :) It’s a way easier dish. Thank you so much for the support! I’m happy they came out good :)
I’m not Hispanic but I work at a Mexican restaurant and my boyfriend is Mexican. At work a lady would sell her tamales, manzana con crema, manzana loca, coktel de frutas, etc out of the back of her car. I turned vegan and now I can’t eat any of my boyfriend’s mom’s food or from the lady from the car. I miss tamales so I’m gonna attempt them on my own even though I’ve never made regular tamales.
Usually the dry section of mostly any store! Or the “hispanic aisle” Like safeway, vons, walmart, grocery outlet, target, ralphs, etc !! The place that will forrrsure have them is mexican esque markets! Like food 4 less, superior groceries! Definitely depends what city/state/country you live in dear 💖
I used miyokos mozzarella because it was on sale for half the price! It works well but I would recommend any other vegan brand because they can be cheaper ❤️ Like violife!
My husband hates vinegar. I can't even clean using it and if I cook with it, he can pick up the flavor. Is there a substitute I can use or will the other flavors cancel the vinegar taste?
Honestly vinegar adds a tartness to guajillo sauce BUUUT, I personally have cooked without on an occasion that I didn’t have it. So you can not add it! It should work fine. Maybe add a tad more guajillo water in place of it 🙂
Hi love! It only matters in the jackfruit is IN brine. Some brine can taste like a pickling, like sour, bitter taste. Especially the trader joes brand jackfruit is pretty strong. When filming this video it was the only one accesible to me BUT since filming this video I have been using now jackfruit in water that needs no boiling method. I purchase online! All it needs is a good rinse and you can shred it hard parts, seeds & all & use as normal! It’s linked in the description if you want to use it ❤️ It cuts off that 2 hours cooking time.
I can’t wait to make this dish. Please purchase ALUMINUM FREE baking powder . Aluminum is a heavy metal. Aluminum free is easy to locate at your local grocer. I love Mexican Food!! I’m OCD as well . I don’t like my food falling apart either. ❤
Your channel was exactly what I was looking for! I can now enjoy the Mexican food that I grew up with.
M Castaneda Aw 🥺 yay! If you ever have a video requests send them my way! Im all about cooking and veganizing my childhood favorites 🧡
I found you the perfect moment I was gonna give up on my new vegan life.
You deserve so many more subs
No way 🥺 Thank you sooo much! I’m glad I could be a help 💜
Looks so freaking good! How the hell does this have like 20 views??

I’ve been watching a lot of videos on making tamales, and yours made the most sense of any of them- especially the way you folded them.

Thank you this looks amazing
Hey I made these! They were really good. I am going to try your rajas and cheese. I love using Myokos mozzarella- I use that for vegan chiles rellenos too. Soo good!
Can butter be used instead of vegetable shortening?
yeah that looks awesome..

Hi. Love this video! What other cheese would you use.
Any shredded vegan cheese!
omg girl you are a star. i love the way you rolled it!
Thank you! so much 🥰🥰
I've been binge watching your videos. Loving them. My question is if I got jack fruit in water do you think id still need to boil it twice?
Thank you for watching ❤️ This method is great for jackfruit in brine because many people have access to it & it’s difficult to make it neutral tasting without this method BUT if you jackfruit in water has a neutral flavor out of the can ready to cook, then yes you can skip it! Good luck 🌱☺️
I'm saving this to try for sure! Thank you!
Love!
Omg ! I’m so lucky to have found you !
Your. A vegan Food Angel 😇 ❤️🇲🇽😍 much love from El Paso Texas
Muchhhh love 💛💛💛
Hey Ma, those are some good looking tamales. I like your wrapping method. I'm gonna try it out. Thanks.
Finally !!! A vegan Hermana ❤️
Siiii 🇲🇽
I love the way you did this! Thank you so much. You made these with so much love I can see
Thank you so much!!! 💕🥰
Hello how many tamales is this jackfruit and cheese tamales recipe for? Looks good 😍
Hi love! I don’t quite remember but it all depends on the amount you put inside! You can make like 15-20 tamales :)
These look amazing! Will try this recipe this year, mainly for a vegan friend.
I love it 💕🥰
Can I use coconut oil in place of shortening?🤔
You are so sweet, and your recipes are so delicious. Thank you soooo much
Thank you truly 🥺🙈
Do you happen to know if this sauce freezes well? Want to make a large batch for some tamales I’m making in a few weeks but wanted to try the sauce out now for some tacos just to taste it. Thank you!
Did u use can jackfruit or a whole jackfruit
Absolutely delicious-thank you so much!!!!
Oh man I just rewatched this video and I'm totally going to make tamales soon only El Salvadorian style. It's been almost 5 years since going vegan and I haven't attempted it.
THANK YOU!
You are welcome :)
They look amazing, thank you! I am thinking of a heathier alternative since my cholesterol is 📴 the roof.
Thank you! 😍
Girl you are amazing! I'm making this next week for bae omg thanks for sharing .
Thanks luv 😋🧡
Can I use coconut oil for the masa?
Hi love! Although I haven’t tried it, I do know oil can most definitely be used!
You are so beautiful!I love your makeup & lipstick, do you know what brand/shade?🙏🏼💜
Thank you 🥰 & to be honest I don’t remember! I used to be a makeup artist, so I have way too many lipsticks! It might have been from sugarpill or katvond beauty 👀
I’m going to try this for NYE!! Thank you!
Yay! Good luck 🌱
I love this 😍
These look amazing!!!! Can't wait to make them 😋 thank you!
Great video! Thank you. Do these freeze well?
Yes! ❤️ I freeze mine too 3-6 months tops. When reheating them, thaw in the fridge a day before & steam 15-20 minutes. If you reheat from frozen, do 25-30 minutes 💕😚
Looks sooooo good deff gonna try this one
that looks so good! que mona chiquis! I'm using this recipe.
Thank you! 😋💓
Looks amazing! How can you tell when the tamales are done? Thanks
Hi love! Just steam them for the time I said & then let them rest for like 45 minutes & they will firm up 💕
I’m so excited to make these!!
Airam, to soften the guajillos do you boil for the full 10-15 minutes, or bring to a boil and then simmer at a lower temp for the 10-15? I want to make the big version. I am assuming the sauce can be portioned and frozen.
Yes it can be frozen! :) And No timing on the guajillo really, just eyeball them until they have softened. Boil, then simmer is great!
How long do you think they would steam in an instant pot?
I have never used an instant pot but I would say keep an eye until the dough looks cooked an thats it! Maybe an hour? :)
Thank you for this!
Can I use regular maseca?
Can't wait to make these
Do you know if the tamales would come out tasting the same or if it would work to use papel aluminio instead of the corn husks?
Yes! You can use foil & they come out just fine ❤️👍🏽
can we use fresh corn husk? do we still soak it? i have fresh corn growing thought i could keep the husk for tamales
Yes you can! Usually used for sweet corn tamales. I would suggest soaking them overnight or in hot water for an hour or so. Just until they are pliable! :)
@@airamcooks thank you ❤❤
What does this jackfruit taste like in a tamale ?
I’m so excited to make these! What an amazing recipe and I love how much of a perfectionist you were. I’m the same way! Awesome vid!!!
Happy holidays. :-)
Randy Rodriguez Thank you! Being a perfectionist has it’s ups & downs definitely haha Happy Holidays & good luck! 💓
Yummy ❤
Are these spicy?
No not at all! 💕 guajillo sauce is more earthy, fragrant
also feel for the silky side for spreading the masa. that's the right way, according to my grandma.
Yes 100%!! Idk if I mentioned it but I will mention it in my next tamale video next week 💕🥰
can’t wait to make these 😭😭
Yessss 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
So hungry now!
Do you have hot sauce recipes like the exact kind of the taco shops give with their orders. Like what kind of chilies do we use and how do we make that red hot sauce
Yes I do! I have 2. Here’s the link to the videos with the recipes!
Brown salsa:

Mild Green Salsa
th-cam.com/video/A9rTWYF0aE4/w-d-xo.html
& A red one will be out soon! 💕 But for salsa rojo you use chile de arbol love
Your name is so pretty!! Thank you for the vid

Damn I wish you lived with me lol, your food looks amazing
Where do you buy your guajillos?
Usually the dry section of mostly any store! Or the “hispanic aisle” Like safeway, vons, walmart, grocery outlet, target, ralphs, etc !! The place that will forrrsure have them is mexican esque markets! Like food 4 less, superior groceries! Definitely depends what city/state/country you live in dear 💖

I need to know where you live because I cannot find the jackfruit in water anywhere
I buy it online! On edward&sons website. Native forest jackfruit in water
Why do you try to get rid of the brine. Does it make the taste better when you get rid of the brine ?
Hi love! It only matters in the jackfruit is IN brine. Some brine can taste like a pickling, like sour, bitter taste. Especially the trader joes brand jackfruit is pretty strong. When filming this video it was the only one accesible to me BUT since filming this video I have been using now jackfruit in water that needs no boiling method. I purchase online!

Im no vegan but when i decide to not consume meat inshallah ill look at your vegan recipes.
Cooking right now, I'll let yall know how it comes out... What size/quantity are the trader joe cans of jack fruit?!
They are like 3.5 oz drained! 🥰 Can’t wait to see!
@@airamcooks These are AMAZING. Great recipe, loved the video. I had to use less water for the masa fyi
THANKS!
I can’t wait to make this dish. Please purchase ALUMINUM FREE baking powder . Aluminum is a heavy metal. Aluminum free is easy to locate at your local grocer. I love Mexican Food!! I’m OCD as well . I don’t like my food falling apart either. ❤
$1.50 jackfruit? Where do you buy yours?!
10:28 ooh you rule!! Thank you
Is menteca vegan?
Manteca, no. Because it is usually pig lard. I use vegetable shortening 😚
@@airamcooks thanks I have crisco as well ❤️
