WOW!! WOW! WOW!! Where’s the 1000(+) LIKE button??? Your recipe is exactly how my mother makes them. She always served tamales with a simple salad or better yet, slices of tomato & freshly mashed refried beans on the side.
I've paid a fortune for authentic tamales many times in the past. I may be brave enough to try this recipe. I just LOVE your cadence when you teach. Every time you say "See? Just like that", I giggle. You're just sheer joy.
I LLOOOVVEE watching you cook Ms. Rachel, and I'd Iove to make these beef tamales. However I cannot eat pork products. Have you ever used Crisco instead of lard? Will that work as a substitution? Thank you!
Rachel, except for 1 or 2 slight differences, your tamale making method is just like my mother's, God rest her soul!! I made 5.5 dz for my oldest daughter this past Thanksgiving while visiting her in California. I live in Texas where the art of tamale-making is a tradition! Thank you for this excellent tutorial video!! 😋
Very clean , well explain. I used to make my own , till this year , my husband passed 5 months ago. After 53yrs of marriage 💑. But now my daughter and son will be making them . I thought them since they were very young. BLESSINGS to you and all.
I’m just seeing this 2 years old recipe by this lady! She is ultra precise with instructions and I love that, her extra detail from cooking to cleaning the peppers and corn husk, to the shredding of the roast and picking out of little pieces before cutting! I just love her. I wish I had a neighbor like this because (one I’m single), (two I can’t cook), and (three.. I love Mexican Foods), especially authentic like this lady does! It is wonderful just watching her.. thank you 🙏 ❤
My mother passed away three years ago. We have not had tamales since then . We decided to try it out this Christmas Eve in her honor. Thank you for providing us with a detailed step by step recipe. We got the whole team ready for action and we were actually in shock that they were so so good!!! We are so proud and happy for you!! From Harlingen, Tx
Hola from Snohomish WA. I've made your Pork & Beef Tamales the last 3 Holidays with Family and I'm so happy to say they they are pretty close to my Mom's 😊 Thank you for helping me keep my Family tradition since my Mom isn't with us physically, I feel her when I'm cooking Tamales with you. God Bless ❤
Oh Rachel, you really must consider doing a cookbook. You are an excellent cook and I most definitely would purchase for myself and others. Keep up the excellent work. There's no cook better than you!
Rachel you are the sweetest, kindest and best teacher ever! Your love comes shining through and you are so humble it is sooooo refreshing! Thank you for being you - and thank you for sharing your recipes and methods, my family has enjoyed every single one! God bless!
RACHEL, I ENJOY LEARNING FROM YOU, SUCH A PLEASURE. I'M SURE YOUR RON IS APPRECIATIVE OF YOU, HOW LOVING AND SWEET YOU ARE IN YOUR COOKING AND TEACHING ❤. THANK YOU❣
I just made tamales using her recipe. I am a senior and it took me back just watching her videos. We use to make them with my mom we were ten in the family and she would have all of us helping. Thank you Rachel I love your recipes. 💖💫my tamales came out great best tamales ever.❤
My favorite part of the meals are at the end when Rachel does the taste test. She's so animated and you can really tell she loves them and you will too. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us and the generations after us that will see these videos.
Rachel you are one of the best , if not the best , hispanic cooks in America no doupt . Your a great chef and teacher too . The patience and kindness you show to all makes us love to come here to your channel of Rachel cooks with love always. Your Ron is secured wrapped around your finger no daupt with such good Mexican cooking he gets no other woman will do he would have to be the biggest fool in America to ever try to leave you . I'm pretty sure he knows it too . And what can I say about me and the rest of your viewers here you got us all wrapped around your little finger too completely hooked up to your cooking channel . Thank you so much for always willing to share your wonderful cooking skills and recepies with us . May God bless you always for all the good things you do for everyone who comes here to watch you cook and learn from you . Looking forward to any and all cooking videos you are always willing to post .
My wife and I followed your recipe to make our first batch of tamales ever. It was a success. The "mistakes" that we had were all on us. Too little masa and too much filling in each tamale. We omitted a lot of the salt, which in hindsight it really needed. You were absolutely right in saying that the process isn't hard, just time consuming. Seriously the hardest part for me was cleaning the corn husks. Now that we know what to expect, we will definitely make these again. Thank you again for inspiring us to step out of our comfort level. We can't wait to try some of your other recipes.
My grandma died and she taught me how to cook and always her special ingredient was love, that's how I found you my culture is Russian so to learn something completely new has been a saving grace!
Ms. Rachel, my family is from Texas (Uvalde) and Arizona (Tucson, the Old Pueblo). I grew up with TexMex and Sonoran food. You remind me so much of my Tia Anita. Whenever I’m feeling homesick for authentic Mexican food I always visit you in your channel. Thank you for the warm memories and your down home recipes!
Thank you Rachel, those tamales look delicious.l use to make them with just chili powder,but i saw Stephanie a lady that also cooks and she uses the chilis that you use and they are delicious, thank you both, she is a good cook like you. God bless you both and thank you for your recipes.
I made these tamales yesterday and I have to say that they are the best tamales I have ever had! Thank you for sharing your recipes and excellent how to videos 😊
Oh Rachel Thank you for this recipe! I made these today and they were wonderful. I have wanted to make tamales for years. You helped me get over my fear. Your instructions definitely made them a success. 💕
I have never made tamales but I decided to try following this recipe. Because I was press for time, I cooked my chuck roast 1 day (shredded and chopped then placed in baggie and refrigerated). Next day, I cleaned and cooked the chili. I blended and strained as said to do. Brought out my meat (warmed up) and added the chili sauce. I left my meat mixture in dutch oven and when cooled, placed back in refrigerator. Next day, cleaned the husks and setup my work area. My daughter made the chicken mixture and her daughter (granddaughter) brought the pre-made masa she purchased at mexican store. We took a chance and added reserved chili sauce to store bought masa...turned out fantastic. Took us 4 hours but was so worth it (received so many compliments). Already planning for next year. Thank you Rachel.
Wow!! I am so proud of you my friend, thank you so much for letting me know, I'm glad you enjoyed them. I've got another Tamale video coming up, so stay tuned. Merry Christmas Blessings to you and your family. ❤️
Looks Delicious! Love the tip of chopping the meat a little finer🙂 You did it again. I grew up making tamales on Christmas Eve. My favorite memory is seeing my mom and all the Aunts and my grandma in their aprons and rollers in their hair around the table making dozens and dozens of tamales such a wonderful time. 🌲☃️ Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I've made beef tamales for years in the past for my husband. Since my husband passed 10yrs ago, I haven't made and I LOVE THEM! My favorite Mexican dish. Thank you SO MUCH for bringing that desire to make once again!!! Your tips are priceless..just like that😆🙌🏾
I know exactly what you mean@shesInLosAngeles those tamales with mom and abuela were made with love. Now I have to start my own tradition of making them as best I can with only the hubs to help so when my sons come home for Christmas they can remember the delicious tamales mom and dad made for them . Of course with the help of Rachel! But that’s a secret, lol!
This video is wonderful! We lived in Corpus Christi, TX many years ago. Some of the ladies at our church made tamales at Christmas time and would take orders. They were so delicious! I always wanted to learn how to make them but the house they cooked in was small and there wasn't room. Oh how I miss all the delicious Mexican food we had available back then! Thank you for posting this video so I can learn to make tamales too. Blessings to you and your family!
Ms. Rachael, I LOVE Tamales!!! Thank you for providing your recipe and your video for how to make tamales!!! Thank you SO much!!! Love your channel and your cooking!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I guarantee you that everyone shows up at Mrs Rachel’s House for Christmas 😂❤ One of the very best videos and editing I’ve ever seen! It’s so easy to understand and moves along so smoothly 😋
That looks so simple. Back in the late 1940's/ early 1950's, my parents moved to New Mexico. They were blessed to live next door to a wonderful Mexican family. They became best friends so through the years, my mom learned how to make many amazing authentic Mexican dishes. I learned what I could from my mom, but never had the opportunity to learned how to make tamales before she passed. Thank you so much for your easy instructions. It makes me feel like I'm now the one living next door to a professional chef. I will definitely make these one day soon. Have a very blessed Christmas! 🎄 🎁
Oh yes Rachel you’re cooking with love you have a fantastic personality are you making for real you’re right in their kitchen you teaching them how to cook I’m trying to learn how to cook tomorrow is this hasn’t been easy but the thing I hate about you too when I pay more attention they cut you off that gets me very upset going going to Texas my God God guide you there and get there safely safely
I am from Houston and we always had a cousin or 2 bring us authentic tamales that someone's sweet grandma made and sold in a local parking lot. No one in our family has attempted to make them. But they always disappeared before the turkey every year. I had a Mexican lady teach me how to eat them a few years ago with just salsa on them and it changed my world. If you get them at a Tex-Mex restaurant they always come with chili and cheese which is very good but salsa (even pace picante) is delicious. I am definitely going to try this recipe to serve to my family this year and i'll let you know how it turns out.
Rachel, you "cook with love" and your fans LOVE YOU TOO. Just by accident I got your video when I was searching for a beef tamale recipe. You are simply delightful. Step-by-step you showed us just the way to do it - slowly and carefully. My tamales were just plain wonderful. They were so pretty, lined up so nicely when I finished steaming. You even showed us an easy way to place them in the pot so they would not fall over before all the pot was filled. You are so kind and sweet - you are a born teacher. Thank you for family stories and your delightful personality. You make cooking an absolutely pleasure. What's not to love?? (smiles). Bless you and your wonderful hands always, Laura. Please continue to send us LOVE,
I strongly agree with Amy Lynn. I have often thought Food Network should put you on their channel. Rachel,you are a terrific teacher and you also pleasant to listen to
Hello Rachel , you make everything look so easy to make, enjoy all the recipes you share with us, thank you so much maybe I will try this one, have a blessed day. 🙏❤❤
I made your pork tamales about four days ago, and now I'm going to try these. My husband isn't as nuts for tamales as I am, but he really enjoyed them too. thank you so so much for sharing. I never really had anyone show me how to cook when I was growing up so this is so wonderful. You're the best.
Rachel, I LOVE your channel. I’m sooo glad I found someone that cooks foods that I like and always wanted to learn to make. Making lunch or dinner was always a challenge for me because I was limited on what foods I knew how to cook. On your channel and your wonderful recipes, my challenge now is to have all the ingredients that I need for a certain recipe that I want to try. Thanks to you and your exceptional way of teaching how to cook your recipes, I am cooking more. Thanks to you and My Ron for making your channel possible. Merry Christmas to you and My Ron. (By the way, this comment is from my wife.)
God bless you and Ron those tamales look good and plus you did it easy and simple I bought some beef tamales today they were good but I love the homemade tamales better and I hope you have a blessed day and thank you for showing us how to make tamales 🌷🌷🌷❤️🌷🌷🌷
Hello Rachel. Wow they look amazing. I have been wanting to make tamales but didn’t know how to make the masa. This is a great step by step video. It’s not as difficult as I thought and I can use this video as my guide. Thank you! ❤️
I grew up Yakima, Washington and had a lot of Mexican friends, I was blessed by having one of my friend's dear grandmother teach me how to make tamales almost 40 years ago and I've been making them a few times a year ever since with our home raised meat. I love your content so I watched your video to see if I could get any new ideas and I did, love the jalapeno addition and adding the Chile sauce to the masa dough. I'm making pork and beef tamales today and I'm going to try those additions. One thing I would like to suggest to you, is when you soak your corn husks put them in a cook pot, fill with hot water, weight with a plate that has a bowl with a lid filled with water or jars of water on top, put on the lid and then keep on a burner and if the water cools you can put the burner on a low heat for a short amount of time to reheat it. Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes! Oh...if you don't have an extra pot you can put them in a big bowl with hot water, weight down, cover with foil or a lid and put in your oven on lowest temp.
I love love watching her cook!! Rachel you ROCK Gurl!! You make everything so real, easy and yummy!! I love how you are So clean!! You are beyond professional. I am gonna try making tamales on my own!! I never learned when I was young cause I always got yelled at! Lol! I’m 61 now so I want to make some for my grandkids. I realize they are time consuming but I will take it slow. I have many health issues but I know I can do it cause I love to cook especially for my babies! Rachel you should have your own network channel!! Bendiciones para ud y su familia!! Feliz Navidad y un próspero año nuevo!! Stay safe!!🥰🎄🎁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏽🌹🙏🏽🫔🌮🌯🍔🥖🧄🧅🌶🥑🫑🍋🍅
Rachel, you are the best teacher I have ever seen. Everything is clean & perfect & I know you love teaching is how to cook. I hope your Christmas is beautiful because of the love you share with all of us to cooking is a special thing for showing how we care for our relatives & friends. I wish I lived in your neighborhood so I could visit with you in person. You are a special blessing dear sweet lady. I love you 💘
What the perfect tutorial you've created for making these tasty morsels my sweet Rachel. Lord knows how many of tamales I've made over the years especially when my mama was alive. We'll be making some most likely before the year ends. I'm excited about this as I've already thought up of how I'm going to prepare Johnny's soy chicken which hopefully will mesh will into the tamale. Here's to continuing to celebrate this very special season with your beloved Ron dear amiga and for you both, I wish nothing but beautiful blessings for the holiday season and always.
Thank you so much for your comment dear friend. You have beautiful memories that will stay in your heart forever, you had a wonderful mama and may she RIP. I bet your chicken soy tamales will be delicious, you are so creative and talented. Every day is a good day. Merry Christmas to you and your Johnny dear friend. ❤
Rachel, you make everything look so delicious, I can almost taste it! You're a natural👍btw, I tried your Pot Roast for Thanksgiving... It was a hit! Thank you☺❤
Rachel this is the best instruction for beginners I have ever seen! You are a master at this my dear, and your instructions are so perfectly explained! You have made a complicated dish so approachable. On of my dearest friends over these 87 years on earth, named Emma and her daughter Mary helped me to learn the process you have covered. Emma is now gone before us. I steamed mine propped up around an inverted cup in the middle of a huge Dutch ovens center. I will try to make yours! Thank you dear one.
I really appreciate your thoughtful, kind way of teaching us Rachel! I’ve had a hard time getting the actual recipe for the Masa. So I appreciate your way ❤️💕🙏🏼….. many people use the already prepared Masa and that’s not readily available in my area. So excited to try your recipe! Much love from Oregon 🌲🌲💕❤️ ~Trina~💕❤️
You're welcome, that's why I used Maseca, because I know not everyone can buy it from a tortilleria, I hope it works for you, just take your time with the recipe. ❤
Thank you Ms.Rachel for going step by step with the maseca. My family love's using maseca but I have not found a good recipe like this one! May God bless you always!
Rachel your tutorials are the best! I just love watching all of your videos. You are such a wonderful instructor and give great detailed instructions! I cant wait to try these. You are a joy and pleasure to watch!
Delicious! I am going to get my husband to help me make some next week! I spread the masa on the ojas and he fills them with meat but sometimes he puts too much meat and I tease him that he’s fired!
Oh! Rachel those tamales looked mouth watering delicious. Is there anything you can't do? You are the most amazing woman and Chef. You alway have a smile on your beautiful face and bring such joy and Love to us all. Thank you Rachel for being just you. Merry Christmas Rachel you are the Best.😊💖
Thank you for the video. I love how well you explained each step. It's been a while since I made this so a refresher is always good. I use to go to my Mom for tip on how to but she been gone 2 1/2 years. My sister and I will try making them this next week. The chilies have always confused me because our family doesn't do really spicy. So I'm really glad you went over that. I will be looking at this again before we make them. Your a sweetie. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤
You look so festive ❤️💚❤️💚☃️🎄🎁🎄🎀🎄🎀!! This is our family tradition this time of year! It's a process, but we have such a good time !! It's mom's recipe pork tamales! Followed by Posole, enchiladas and the works! We usually come up with about 6 dozen so we all can share the love !! Happy Holidays and Blessings in the New Year ahead of us 🙏 🌹
I spent yesterday making these. My family had a big holiday celebration today. I made your Chile Colorado recipe (again) and these beef Tamales. They were a huge hit! I should have made more spicy ones than not. My boys liked the ones with extra slices of jalapeños and Serrano peppers. I love your channel and you are teaching me how to make all of these great Mexican dishes. Thank you so much!
Yesterday I watched the tamale episode from last year! I got so motivated, my daughter and I are making them next weekend. But I prefer using the standing mixer as opposed to working the masa by hand (cuz I’m basically lazy!) 😄 Once again thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for your sweet disposition! ❤️
I hope to make these one day! Hopefully I can find (or order) all the ingredients I need. OR Mrs. Rachel, could I adopt you PLEASE? 💕 Thank you for sharing another delicious looking recipe.
I found a place in San Antonio Texas by the name of Bolner’s Fiesta Brand. They have a kit of ingredients and are reasonably priced. Very nice business.
LOVE... LOVE... LOVE you Rachel. I asked Santa for all ingredients to make tamales, chiles, corn husks and even a tortilla press for later use Can't wait to get started. By the way, how many times do you say "see" in your videos? lol.... my family is always bringing this to my attention for saying "see" all the time... lol Love you Rachel, love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
@@rachelcookswithlove you keep saying see, I love it, it reminds me of how my grandma would lovingly teach me. You really are a lovely, classy, gentle woman! We love you Rachel!
I do LOVE tamales! I've never been brave enough to try and make my own though. After watching you make these, I just might give it a go and see. I do have one question. How do you know when they're ready? You said you checked, but I don't even know what to look for to tell. I hope you , Your Ron, and your entire family have a wonderful holiday! I have no doubt that the food will be DELICIOUS! :D
I started watching not too long ago. Unfortunately I never got my mother's recipe before she passed. I made these and my family just loved them. I even bought a mocaje! I made her green chili and got all thums up. Make it Ron's way and you'll never be disappointed.
What do I think????? I think J want to MAKE them! I think I want to EAT them! I think they look DELICIOUS!!! I think you are the BEST, most TIDIEST cook EVER. That’s what I think.? A number #1!!!!!
A shout out yall this lady is amazingly wise in her presentations of how to make these tamales. I want to make these tamales. Thank you Rachel God's Blessings
Please show just how to pronounce that stone grinding bowl you use. Please... Also, please explain just why we need to remove that white stuff ("protein"??) from the top of the meat water just before it comes to a boil. I always need to know WHY we should do or not do something. Thank you!!!
I love the way you take the few minutes to give your corn husks extra care by rinsing them well, you’re going to effort to make these, why not do that to be sure they’re super clean!
Rachel, I have heard that while your tamales are steaming, you must be sure that no one opens an outside door, as this supposedly affects the tamales... Have you heard of this?? Can you address this, please? Thank you!!! Also, just HOW do you "check your tamales"??? How do you KNOW that your tamales "are perfectly ready"?? You don't explain what you are looking for. Please do explain. (I LOVE your videos!!!)
Thank you so much for your question, I've never heard that before, but I do remember us running in and out of the house as children when my mama made tamales and nothing ever happened, they were always perfect and delicious...I always check for the masa to come away from the husk easy, and I always let them sit for awhile before eating them because the are a little mushy when very hot.❤
I made tamales today, I've never been brave enough to try! I used to watch my mother and aunts as a child. They turned out delicious!! Thanks for the step by step..it really helped!
My mom and dad started the tamales for Christmas dinner 50 years ago. I do not know why. Maybe my mom didn't want to cook another turkey feast so soon after Thanksgiving. Burn out. So my dad was responsible in finding the tamales to buy every year. He found a family in Bishop, TX that made the best beef/pork tamales and we had a dozen dozen ordered for the holidays. My mom would make a huge pot of meaty beans. And a tray of 7 layer dip. Later on she came up with serving a queso sauce to everyones joy. Love your Video. And glad you mentioned the masa float trick. It make the masa so fluffy.

Making tamales is so nostalgic for me. Missing my Abuela and Mother
I know exactly what you mean@shesInLosAngeles those tamales with mom and abuela were made with love. Now I have to start my own tradition of making them as best I can with only the hubs to help so when my sons come home for Christmas they can remember the delicious tamales mom and dad made for them . Of course with the help of Rachel! But that’s a secret, lol!
Thank you, blessings my friend. ❤
This video is wonderful! We lived in Corpus Christi, TX many years ago. Some of the ladies at our church made tamales at Christmas time and would take orders. They were so delicious! I always wanted to learn how to make them but the house they cooked in was small and there wasn't room. Oh how I miss all the delicious Mexican food we had available back then! Thank you for posting this video so I can learn to make tamales too. Blessings to you and your family!
You’re welcome my friend, you can make them wherever you are.❤️
Thank you for the great tutorial of tamale making. I am so excited to make these tamales.
Hope you enjoy my friend 😊❤️
Ms. Rachael, I LOVE Tamales!!! Thank you for providing your recipe and your video for how to make tamales!!! Thank you SO much!!! Love your channel and your cooking!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You're welcome my friend, thank you. ❤⚘
Hi, Rachel and Ron and thank you for being our teacher in cooking, you are awesome.
I guarantee you that everyone shows up at Mrs Rachel’s House for Christmas 😂❤ One of the very best videos and editing I’ve ever seen! It’s so easy to understand and moves along so smoothly 😋
I made your cheese enchiladas and they’re the absolute best! Everyone in my house talks about them all the time. I can’t wait to make these! ❤️
Thank you for sharing, blessings. ❤👍
Thank you Rachel! I think this is the best how to make tamales video I have ever seen. Can't wait to make them!
That looks so simple. Back in the late 1940's/ early 1950's, my parents moved to New Mexico. They were blessed to live next door to a wonderful Mexican family. They became best friends so through the years, my mom learned how to make many amazing authentic Mexican dishes. I learned what I could from my mom, but never had the opportunity to learned how to make tamales before she passed.
Thank you so much for your easy instructions. It makes me feel like I'm now the one living next door to a professional chef. I will definitely make these one day soon. Have a very blessed Christmas! 🎄 🎁
You're welcome my friend, thank you for sharing. ❤
You are working in a different kitchen. Love your cooking. Thank you
Oh yes Rachel you’re cooking with love you have a fantastic personality are you making for real you’re right in their kitchen you teaching them how to cook I’m trying to learn how to cook tomorrow is this hasn’t been easy but the thing I hate about you too when I pay more attention they cut you off that gets me very upset going going to Texas my God God guide you there and get there safely safely
The instructions are so wonderful Rachel! It's a lot of work but they look so worth it. Thank you for teaching us your method.
You're welcome my friend, they are alot of work, but when you get all your ingredients ready everything will flow easier. Thank you.❤
I am from Houston and we always had a cousin or 2 bring us authentic tamales that someone's sweet grandma made and sold in a local parking lot. No one in our family has attempted to make them. But they always disappeared before the turkey every year. I had a Mexican lady teach me how to eat them a few years ago with just salsa on them and it changed my world. If you get them at a Tex-Mex restaurant they always come with chili and cheese which is very good but salsa (even pace picante) is delicious. I am definitely going to try this recipe to serve to my family this year and i'll let you know how it turns out.
Thank you so much for your comment my friend, I bet they will be delicious. ❤
You look so attractive, your looking extremely beautiful and charming, you got the most beautiful smile ever. Am David by name
Rachel, you "cook with love" and your fans LOVE YOU TOO. Just by accident I got your video when I was searching for a beef tamale recipe. You are simply delightful. Step-by-step you showed us just the way to do it - slowly and carefully. My tamales were just plain wonderful. They were so pretty, lined up so nicely when I finished steaming. You even showed us an easy way to place them in the pot so they would not fall over before all the pot was filled. You are so kind and sweet - you are a born teacher. Thank you for family stories and your delightful personality. You make cooking an absolutely pleasure. What's not to love?? (smiles). Bless you and your wonderful hands always, Laura. Please continue to send us LOVE,
Being raised in Minnesota in the '50's, I had heard of tamales, but had no idea what they were. I'm getting an education here! They look so good.
Thank you so much, I hope you get to try these.❤
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything she does!!!! Wonderful chief. Thank you for sharing your cooking knowledge with us all ♥️
Rachel you remind me of my grandmother! TAMALES remind me of her and my dad,, her son. Missing them both watching this.
Hugs my friend, Merry Christmas. ❤
I strongly agree with Amy Lynn. I have often thought Food Network should put you on their channel. Rachel,you are a terrific teacher and you also pleasant to listen to
Thank you so much, and thank you for thinking that, I appreciate it so much my friend. Merry Christmas. ❤
My husband and I followed your pork tamale video and they came out DELICIOUS. We can't wait to try this one. Thank you so very very much! 🤗
I was so happy to read this, I get lots of comments and I try my best to keep up...thank you for letting me know my friend. ❤️
Thank You!! Just in time for the Holidays 🎄
Merry Christmas my friend. ❤👍
Hello Rachel , you make everything look so easy to make, enjoy all the recipes you share with us, thank you so much maybe I will try this one, have a blessed day. 🙏❤❤
Thank you so much for your comment my friend. Blessings. ❤
I made your pork tamales about four days ago, and now I'm going to try these. My husband isn't as nuts for tamales as I am, but he really enjoyed them too. thank you so so much for sharing. I never really had anyone show me how to cook when I was growing up so this is so wonderful. You're the best.
Rachel, I LOVE your channel. I’m sooo glad I found someone that cooks foods that I like and always wanted to learn to make. Making lunch or dinner was always a challenge for me because I was limited on what foods I knew how to cook. On your channel and your wonderful recipes, my challenge now is to have all the ingredients that I need for a certain recipe that I want to try. Thanks to you and your exceptional way of teaching how to cook your recipes, I am cooking more. Thanks to you and My Ron for making your channel possible. Merry Christmas to you and My Ron. (By the way, this comment is from my wife.)
Rachel! You are a gift! Your videos are easy to follow, and the recipes are authentic! I am so happy to have found you!!!
Very well explained muy sabroso
Gracias, Feliz Navidad.❤
God bless you and Ron those tamales look good and plus you did it easy and simple I bought some beef tamales today they were good but I love the homemade tamales better and I hope you have a blessed day and thank you for showing us how to make tamales 🌷🌷🌷❤️🌷🌷🌷
Hello Rachel. Wow they look amazing. I have been wanting to make tamales but didn’t know how to make the masa. This is a great step by step video. It’s not as difficult as I thought and I can use this video as my guide. Thank you! ❤️
You're welcome, just take your time and move forward with confidence, they will be delicious. ❤
I grew up Yakima, Washington and had a lot of Mexican friends, I was blessed by having one of my friend's dear grandmother teach me how to make tamales almost 40 years ago and I've been making them a few times a year ever since with our home raised meat. I love your content so I watched your video to see if I could get any new ideas and I did, love the jalapeno addition and adding the Chile sauce to the masa dough. I'm making pork and beef tamales today and I'm going to try those additions. One thing I would like to suggest to you, is when you soak your corn husks put them in a cook pot, fill with hot water, weight with a plate that has a bowl with a lid filled with water or jars of water on top, put on the lid and then keep on a burner and if the water cools you can put the burner on a low heat for a short amount of time to reheat it. Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes! Oh...if you don't have an extra pot you can put them in a big bowl with hot water, weight down, cover with foil or a lid and put in your oven on lowest temp.
Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing my friend, blessings to you.❤️
So crazy to see someone grow up in Yakima wa!!! In the comments 🤗🤗🤗 I live in Zillah WA blessings to you
I love love watching her cook!! Rachel you ROCK Gurl!! You make everything so real, easy and yummy!! I love how you are So clean!! You are beyond professional. I am gonna try making tamales on my own!! I never learned when I was young cause I always got yelled at! Lol! I’m 61 now so I want to make some for my grandkids. I realize they are time consuming but I will take it slow. I have many health issues but I know I can do it cause I love to cook especially for my babies! Rachel you should have your own network channel!! Bendiciones para ud y su familia!! Feliz Navidad y un próspero año nuevo!! Stay safe!!🥰🎄🎁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏽🌹🙏🏽🫔🌮🌯🍔🥖🧄🧅🌶🥑🫑🍋🍅
Rachel, you are the best teacher I have ever seen. Everything is clean & perfect & I know you love teaching is how to cook. I hope your Christmas is beautiful because of the love you share with all of us to cooking is a special thing for showing how we care for our relatives & friends. I wish I lived in your neighborhood so I could visit with you in person. You are a special blessing dear sweet lady. I love you 💘
I like how you demonstrate all the steps to making the Tamales. I'm going to try it because you make it look so easy. Thank you
I hope they are a success for you my friend. ❤👍😘
You’re the BEST!! Perfect recipe and just in time! ♥️ Thank you! I love sharing you with my friends!
What the perfect tutorial you've created for making these tasty morsels my sweet Rachel. Lord knows how many of tamales I've made over the years especially when my mama was alive. We'll be making some most likely before the year ends. I'm excited about this as I've already thought up of how I'm going to prepare Johnny's soy chicken which hopefully will mesh will into the tamale. Here's to continuing to celebrate this very special season with your beloved Ron dear amiga and for you both, I wish nothing but beautiful blessings for the holiday season and always.
Thank you so much for your comment dear friend. You have beautiful memories that will stay in your heart forever, you had a wonderful mama and may she RIP. I bet your chicken soy tamales will be delicious, you are so creative and talented. Every day is a good day. Merry Christmas to you and your Johnny dear friend. ❤
This recipe looks easy as she explains every step. I’m going to see if I can follow her wonderful recipe. Good job, Rachel!
Rachel, you make everything look so delicious, I can almost taste it! You're a natural👍btw, I tried your Pot Roast for Thanksgiving... It was a hit! Thank you☺❤
Rachel this is the best instruction for beginners I have ever seen! You are a master at this my dear, and your instructions are so perfectly explained! You have made a complicated dish so approachable. On of my dearest friends over these 87 years on earth, named Emma and her daughter Mary helped me to learn the process you have covered. Emma is now gone before us. I steamed mine propped up around an inverted cup in the middle of a huge Dutch ovens center. I will try to make yours! Thank you dear one.
I really appreciate your thoughtful, kind way of teaching us Rachel!
I’ve had a hard time getting the actual recipe for the Masa. So I appreciate your way ❤️💕🙏🏼….. many people use the already prepared Masa and that’s not readily available in my area.
So excited to try your recipe! Much love from Oregon 🌲🌲💕❤️
~Trina~💕❤️
You're welcome, that's why I used Maseca, because I know not everyone can buy it from a tortilleria, I hope it works for you, just take your time with the recipe. ❤
OMG I need those. They look amazing! I ♥️ your cooking lessons!
Just love your content!! How do you keep the stove so clean? And your Dutch ovens from turning color? They look new
I just made these and they turned out amazing! I stuffed mine with roasted hatch green chilis and cheese. Thank You so much for the recipe!
Yummy!!! I bet they were delicious! Thank you so much for letting me know. ❤
Thank you Ms.Rachel for going step by step with the maseca. My family love's using maseca but I have not found a good recipe like this one! May God bless you always!
I love your cooking Rachel. Those look so good. They do take a while but wow
so worth it. Thank you for taking us step by step!!
You're welcome my friend, Merry Christmas. ❤⚘
Always wanted to see step by step. With this video I just might try it. We love tamales. Thank you Rachel. God Bless you.
Yum I can't wait I can smell them already. We spend the day together as a family we have a rolling party. I always look forward to it.
Fun!! Blessings! Thank you so much for your comment. ❤
Rachel your tutorials are the best! I just love watching all of your videos. You are such a wonderful instructor and give great detailed instructions! I cant wait to try these. You are a joy and pleasure to watch!
Delicious! I am going to get my husband to help me make some next week! I spread the masa on the ojas and he fills them with meat but sometimes he puts too much meat and I tease him that he’s fired!
Lol!! Have fun, thank you. ❤
Tamales is one of my favorite Mexican food. Yummy so much !!! Thank you for the recipe. I can eat in the morning for breakfast, Lunch and dinner.
You're welcome my friend. ❤️
Oh! Rachel those tamales looked mouth watering delicious. Is there anything you can't do? You are the most amazing woman and Chef. You alway have a smile on your beautiful face and bring such joy and Love to us all. Thank you Rachel for being just you.
Merry Christmas Rachel you are the Best.😊💖
Your comment made my day, thank you so much for your sweet comment and for making me smile. Merry Christmas my friend. ❤
Can't wait to try your delicious beef tamale recipe! Your Ron is one lucky fella to have an awesome cook like you, Rachel! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for the video. I love how well you explained each step. It's been a while since I made this so a refresher is always good. I use to go to my Mom for tip on how to but she been gone 2 1/2 years. My sister and I will try making them this next week. The chilies have always confused me because our family doesn't do really spicy. So I'm really glad you went over that. I will be looking at this again before we make them. Your a sweetie. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤
Sweet comment from you, thank you for sharing. ❤️
I absolutely love you Rachel and all your recipes! I appreciate your attention to detail and the way you explain everything!
❤🥰❤
Mexican food is one of my favorites 😋 hmm ...so yum....and I just like you vividly you give instructions! Thanks again!
You're welcome, thank you so much. ❤
Thank you for being such a blessing. I’m thinking you must be a teacher because you are so good at explaining and very organized.
You look so festive ❤️💚❤️💚☃️🎄🎁🎄🎀🎄🎀!! This is our family tradition this time of year! It's a process, but we have such a good time !! It's mom's recipe pork tamales! Followed by Posole, enchiladas and the works! We usually come up with about 6 dozen so we all can share the love !! Happy Holidays and Blessings in the New Year ahead of us 🙏 🌹
Amen!! Thank you so much, enjoy and many blessings my friend. ❤
Just sent this to my son and old boss. He's an awesome cook and she loves tamales thank you so much again. I will be making these very soon.
Thank goodness I live in El Paso where can get this all year long!
You're blessed my friend. ❤
I spent yesterday making these. My family had a big holiday celebration today. I made your Chile Colorado recipe (again) and these beef Tamales. They were a huge hit! I should have made more spicy ones than not. My boys liked the ones with extra slices of jalapeños and Serrano peppers. I love your channel and you are teaching me how to make all of these great Mexican dishes. Thank you so much!
You’re so talented and pleasant! If you break the bay leaves in half they release more flavor 🤙🏻😊❤️
Actually, with a long simmer they do just fine my friend whether broken or not. Thank you so much much for your comment. Merry Christmas. ❤
Your Ron is so loved. I love watching your video cooking recipes. Your instructions are easy for me to follow. Thank you Rachel.
Rachel you have been sent from above!
Sweet comment. ❤
I will surely make these tamales! You are a fantastic teacher ❤ I love how you are so patient and explain everything.. thank you Rachel
Yesterday I watched the tamale episode from last year! I got so motivated, my daughter and I are making them next weekend. But I prefer using the standing mixer as opposed to working the masa by hand (cuz I’m basically lazy!) 😄
Once again thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for your sweet disposition! ❤️
Thank you so much for your comment, blessings, you can do it.❤👍
Thank you so much Rachel ❤ I appreciate the hard work and passion you have for food!! Thank you!! It's a must do!!! Blessings ❤❤
Good job Rachel.
I hope to make these one day!
Hopefully I can find (or order) all the ingredients I need.
OR Mrs. Rachel, could I adopt you PLEASE? 💕
Thank you for sharing another delicious looking recipe.
Sweet words. Thank you so much. ❤
I found a place in San Antonio Texas by the name of Bolner’s Fiesta Brand. They have a kit of ingredients and are reasonably priced. Very nice business.
Lista para hacerlos riquísimos se ven gracias por la receta😊❤
LOVE... LOVE... LOVE you Rachel. I asked Santa for all ingredients to make tamales, chiles, corn husks and even a tortilla press for later use Can't wait to get started. By the way, how many times do you say "see" in your videos? lol.... my family is always bringing this to my attention for saying "see" all the time... lol Love you Rachel, love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Lol!! I don't know, but I know it's alot and it only happens when I'm explaining something, 😘
@@rachelcookswithlove you keep saying see, I love it, it reminds me of how my grandma would lovingly teach me. You really are a lovely, classy, gentle woman! We love you Rachel!
Best video on how to make beef tamales. 👍👍
I do LOVE tamales! I've never been brave enough to try and make my own though. After watching you make these, I just might give it a go and see. I do have one question. How do you know when they're ready? You said you checked, but I don't even know what to look for to tell.
I hope you , Your Ron, and your entire family have a wonderful holiday! I have no doubt that the food will be DELICIOUS! :D
Thank you so much, I make sure the masa comes away from the husk easy, then I let them sit for a few minutes.❤
I started watching not too long ago. Unfortunately I never got my mother's recipe before she passed. I made these and my family just loved them. I even bought a mocaje! I made her green chili and got all thums up. Make it Ron's way and you'll never be disappointed.
What do I think????? I think J want to MAKE them! I think I want to EAT them! I think they look DELICIOUS!!! I think you are the BEST, most TIDIEST cook EVER. That’s what I think.? A number #1!!!!!
Thank you for making me smile, blessings my friend. ❤
A shout out yall this lady is amazingly wise in her presentations of how to make these tamales. I want to make these tamales. Thank you Rachel
God's Blessings
Please show just how to pronounce that stone grinding bowl you use. Please... Also, please explain just why we need to remove that white stuff ("protein"??) from the top of the meat water just before it comes to a boil. I always need to know WHY we should do or not do something. Thank you!!!
@ 1955annem molcajete(mowl-kuh-hay-tay). Hope this helps!
I love the way you take the few minutes to give your corn husks extra care by rinsing them well, you’re going to effort to make these, why not do that to be sure they’re super clean!
Rachel, I have heard that while your tamales are steaming, you must be sure that no one opens an outside door, as this supposedly affects the tamales... Have you heard of this?? Can you address this, please? Thank you!!! Also, just HOW do you "check your tamales"??? How do you KNOW that your tamales "are perfectly ready"?? You don't explain what you are looking for. Please do explain. (I LOVE your videos!!!)
I think that’s an old wives’ tale.
Thank you so much for your question, I've never heard that before, but I do remember us running in and out of the house as children when my mama made tamales and nothing ever happened, they were always perfect and delicious...I always check for the masa to come away from the husk easy, and I always let them sit for awhile before eating them because the are a little mushy when very hot.❤
I made tamales today, I've never been brave enough to try! I used to watch my mother and aunts as a child. They turned out delicious!! Thanks for the step by step..it really helped!
Rachel you have a most satisfying moan when you taste good food. Those tamales look fantastic.
I think you mean Rachel.
@@cynthiafisher9907 I'm on my phone and I'm talking to text. I actually did say Rachel.
@@julieparker5029 Ah, of course.
Thank you so much, they are delicious. ❤😘
My mom and dad started the tamales for Christmas dinner 50 years ago. I do not know why. Maybe my mom didn't want to cook another turkey feast so soon after Thanksgiving. Burn out. So my dad was responsible in finding the tamales to buy every year. He found a family in Bishop, TX that made the best beef/pork tamales and we had a dozen dozen ordered for the holidays. My mom would make a huge pot of meaty beans. And a tray of 7 layer dip. Later on she came up with serving a queso sauce to everyones joy. Love your Video. And glad you mentioned the masa float trick. It make the masa so fluffy.
