It is great to see you try all different recipes. You are right, it depends on where you are from they will be made differently. We put a LOT of lard in them, both vegetable and animal lard. I have been voluntold to mix the masa for the last 5 years, which is not an easy job since it is done by hand. I don't mind it since my mom can't do it anymore and I love helping in what I can. I may try the tortilla presser since I am terrible at putting the masa on the cornhusk, but we put way more masa than you do so I am not sure if it will work. One tip I can give you is this: Fold the masa in to the meat on both sides without the husk, then fold the husk. This way your tamal will come out full and the masa will not be wrapped in the husk and open when you unwrap it. In case you want to know, masa is with a short a. It's not maysa. I love your videos! I want to try your clamshowder recipe, my fiancé loves that soup and I want to learn how to make it.
❤️ I bet it could work ❤️ aww thanks 😊 right lots of different ways :) I bet yours are amazing 🤩 the clam chowder is so good it’s a big favorite with the kids
I am going to ask you why you are using a table in your tamales. 😂😂😂 I’m totally teasing you! The corn mixture is pronounced Mahsah. Maysuh (mesa) means table, in Spanish. You are just too cute! I love the red chili sauce! I’m curious, do the little flakes from the skin soften? I once forgot to strain my chilis and I had little pepper flakes.
🤣🤣 ohh I love this !! So funny they do soften :) they get steamed and blended in really good :) it all cooks in wonderfully! Give it to me to say it wrong lol 😂 valley girl 🫣 🤣
I was taught to make tamales by a Mexican Nana in a small town in Arizona. Everyone makes their own version, which I find so interesting! Lisa adds a lot of meat and most people don't. I do. I think that's what makes them so good! In addition to using the chilis she used. She did such a great job!
Great recipe! I grew up in Chicago and still live about an hour away just across the state line in Indiana. The Mexican food in Chicago is sooooo good. There are so many authentic little taco places and even carts that sell the best churros. I am a fan of tamales but authentic steak street tacos are my jam. I think my favorite tamale is poblano and cheese. I will show this video to my husband. He makes such good Mexican food. We are both from Chicago and have been spoiled by its food for many years 😊 Chicago is best known for pizza but their tacos are the best!
What?! You’re from the Central Valley! I’ve been watching you for years so it feels like a longtime friend just told me they’re from my hometown 😂 Love that you make Central Valley tamales👏🏽
Southern California girlie here. Yes everyone has their own way of making tamales 🫔. Thanks for sharing your way and your recipe. I’ve never used the tortilla press but now I want to try it seems so much easier! My kids love tamales and they help me make them too. Happy new year! Many blessings ❤

Thank you for Sharing with Us your Super Easy Tamale Recipe Yes I have made tamales the long way Enjoy your way. I will try your recipe ❤ Take Care Hugs from Northern Central Valley of California 🌞
I to use the tortilla presser but i use a tortilla plastic bag cut it open but i put the oja in the presser and put masa on top press it then put put the meat in then fold the tamale 😊
My family has made these for years, never with a tortilla press though! That looks so much easier than spreading with a spatula! I love how you do your 🌶️🌶️ peppers too! It beats boiling the chilies. In our family we pronounce it Masa instead of Mesa. Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to try it your way next time!❤
It’s a big time saver ❤️aww thanks 😊 I find it all cooks in good together:) this is a very easy fast way to:) I so said it wrong 😊 it’s my dang valley girl talk 🤣 thank you so much 😊 i appreciate your comment
Thank you for sharing your tamales. We love tamales in our house. I have a question about the husks. Is there a rough side and smooth side? If so, I would assume the smooth side is where the masa goes against, right?

@@PookiesViewI shall try to refrain from straining. I could easily give up that uber-messy process! I love that you put so much meat. I do too.

Something I will never make but really enjoyed your video. Make enchiladas next time.
Ohh I can do a enchiladas:) I make really good green enchiladas:) I do said masa wrong I blame my valley girl ways lol 😂
I was shocked to see a package of corn husks was $10 this weekend!! It wasn't even an overly big pkg🤯
Wow!!! That’s expensive
@PookiesView I thought so too! I am in Michigan- we grow a lot of corn around here. Need to start saving them during sweet corn season, I guess!
Right dang! I can’t remember how much I paid but I think it was 5 bucks now I’ll have to look again
Good job yummy food 👍
Aww thank you ❤️
How many did it make
I think I got 20 of them out of them :) but I have so much meat I can make 200 of them ❤️
Wow u makin tamales
❤️❤️
TFs it real simple
It really is! 🤗
the MAY-SA 😂 ❤ Dude u gotta boil those chilis so u dont get the flecks of hard dry chili skins, theyre gross n just get stuck in your teeth
I know sad it wrong lol 😂 valley girl coming out 🤣that Dutch over cooks it all down perfectly:) but maybe in a crockpot it might not work that good ❤️
As a Mexican we call these burritos not tamales ! Just kidding love your videos but not your tamales ❤
🤣❤️❤️❤️
It's not maysa it's ma'sa.
