I moved out of town about 20 years ago, but I remember El Cholo’s tamales as being the best I’ve ever had. Moist, tender, light, fluffy and a little bit sweet. The tamales I’ve had since moving away are rather dense and taste like masa. El Cholo’s tasted like fresh sweet corn (their use of cheese was actually very light). I’m going back soon and I hope their tamales are still as good as I remember them.
*I'm from Mexico living in Spain and this video made me so emotional and happy❤️ I love recreating Mexican dishes and sharing them since I miss my family*
What love and pride I see in your traditional tamales! I hope the next generation continues in your way! We want our kids to keep traditions like family recipes alive, not just in our tummies, but in our hearts! May the One True God Bless your lives and your families lives! ❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️
Wow. My grandma used to make tamales like these. Only she used a grinder and molcajete to give the corn the fine texture. It took so long to make. I used to think the way others made tamales was weird because of the process my grandma used. They used to say we did it wrong. The diversity in Mexican cooking is so amazing. She was awesome & what she taught me will last a lifetime. 🥺♥️
I make mine like I learned as a child, molcajete was used, other ways seem weird to me. However, everyone makes their food and family foods differently, it is the beauty of food.
Hi, I love your statement !!! WILL, LAST, A LIFETIME !!!! I have a Tamale Business in Canada, and I love the way they are taking care of their tradition, that is why exist the so call, secret recipe, because everyone of us think that we have the best one, and is true, all the tamales that Mom or Grandma make is delicious. Happy Easter.
Me and my family use Manteca to soften the Masa and whenever they get cold, they won't be stale. So just processed Masa from the market and Manteca. We make mole poblano, pollo verde o rojo, puerco rojo, queso, rajas.
Yeah the use of sugar, milk, and butter was what surprised me! Our family just used manteca, or vegetable shortening, and stock. These look so good though!
Wow! Finally someone understands me! People always look at me like I'm crazy when I ask if they can make me chili relleno or green chili with cheese tamales. It's my favorite. Now it's my kid's favorite too 😋
Olvera street of my childhood. Tiny little Mamacitas over the stove making tortillas by hand. Guitar musicians and the cool tiles of the tables. I love LA.
oh my. I remember that in the 1970s and 80s my favorite place was El Cholo on .i think Alvarado St in Los Angeles, and my favorite meal was green corn tamales. I haven’t had green corn tamales in many, many years and I would love to have some. I am now 88 years .old.
FFS it's TAMAL, the singular is tamal, not tamalE. The last "e" is part of the plural, tamalES, similar to say box, the plural is boxes so the singular is box, not boxe.
@MoonChild I know! I can understand it from someone who has never heard or seen the word before, but if it is the main subject of the video people should make the effort to at least get the name right.
Well, before anyone gets on their high horse and becomes the vocabulary police, there first needs to be an understanding of where the word for this dish comes from. Then they need to understand the bastardization of a language and its culture as a way for colonizers to erase the indigenous people and their history. The word of origin for this dish comes from the indigenous Nahuatl word, tamalli. So, when a person refers to the singular term tamale, they are more closely honoring the roots of the dish, culture and word. So one can make peace with people using tamal and tamale interchangeably and let people say how they please. Or, be advised that even your insistence on referring to a tamalli as a tamal is in fact incorrect.
Idk but this whole recipe was an abomination/butchering of what a traditional tamal is. Sure it’s delicious and interesting, but Mexican? I don’t think so.
We r not Mexican but we love Mexican food Chicken mole Tamale all indigene Corn skin,and corn flour, Many tamale recipes saw May bhi tomorrow I make tamale. Thanks.
@@smoothhead4766 yeah, with tamales its just food, just like the ice cream man or whatever... its not buying drugs, just food. Haha It's more common to do in Mex. Oh & everybody will make tamales different too, some good, others better, a few maybe not- so -great, either way its definitely worth to try from diff. vendors & 1 of each bc there are diff.flavors fillings too, both savory & sweet. You have your protein, your carbs, & just need your fresh fruit or vegetable for a complete meal. Dont eat too -too often though, since they're typically high in calories due to the fat/oil content. :)

Beautiful Mexican food from beautiful Mexican people. And we love to share our food with everyone!! Yay thanks for sharing.
These kind of authentic old foods always give me an inspiration.

How do other people typically make tamales if this way is considered “wrong?”

I don't know what triggered this Hispanic Heritage videos, but as a mexican, I'm living for it,
I got a lot of ideas for my tamales from this video. Thanks
This tamal recipe is so different than the way I grew up making them...very interesting nonetheless

I was eating a pork tamale when this popped up so of course I had to watch. I'm glad I did. I love stories like this 💗 They look delicious
We still do the same process💖 authentic Mexican food in our home🙏💖. Butter mekes everything good😁
Even though this is not a traditional tamal I would love to try it
You can see the passion and dedication if the chef and the owner for the products they make.
Who loves watching "Tasty" everyday??
Me
No one
too bad they dont post everyday. but i think tasty recipes posts everyday
Oooo-

That's a really nice recipe. Love the whole process. It's so authentic.
😊👍
I used to eat at this restaurant on Los Angeles and I miss the food so much!! So lovely to reminisce. 💗
Here in the Philippines we used to do it with glutenous rice, and coconut milk. Then we add the cooked tamales with souce that we called "latik".
TH-cam needs to have a way viewers can get a plate of their favourites. I would watch this just to be able to eat those tamales every chance I get!
I love everything on the menu at El Cholo's
Oh my Gosh that looks SO GOOD omg it so authentic and so just 😌
The Mexican food in LA🔥

Can say the same thing for NY 🤮
Wow, that is so nice. Keeping with tradition alive.

HOW MANY TIMES DO HISPANICS HAVE TO SAY THIS. THE SINGULAR FORM OF "TAMALES" IS "TAMAL" !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know right they say "tamale" like bro no. I guess it the English way of saying "tamal"
Chale tamale. No, but for real tamal and tamales.
Language is to communicate not to criticize
@@homewerk3355 true these people just love to criticize
Jorge Luis Rojas asi dice mi familia. Ellos dicen “tamales”. Son de Mexico
They have so much talent!
