- If your afraid of making tamales don’t be, in this video I will show you how to make them with simple ingredients. These green Chile chicken and cheese tamales are made with MASECA corn masa flour, the dough is spread on a soft corn husk then filled with my delicious green salsa and chicken, I also add cream cheese. Some tamales have strips of fresh jalapeños in them to give them an added kick, then they are steamed to perfection. ❤️

Oh Rachel! So wonderful to see this video! My husband was just diagnosed with kidney cancer. The prognosis is good, Thank God!!! Cooking is a huge stress reliever for me and listening to you is soothing!! I've always been intimidated by tamales but I think it's time to conquer my fears! With you by my side guiding me, anything is possible!!!! Thank you my friend!
Prayers for your husband 🙏
I pray your husband goes into remission soon. 🙏 Much love to you both.
I'm praying for your husband too. 🙏

You beautiful lady have won my heart and your channel is my new NOT guilty pleasure!! I’m a white girl married to a Chicano! LOVE OF MY LIFE! I’m 57 met him when I was 16! He loves my cooking but I’m going to blow is mind with your recipes… you cook like his mama!
This is our first Christmas without my mom but we are having tamales, posole and frijoles. Good memories. Feliz Navidad y Prospero Ano Nuevo!
That's why I love you and your videos. Not using the stand up mixture and doing it by hand was clutch. I'm a fan of yours forever. All of your receipts are in my book. Their delicious.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your comment and support of my channel my friend. Merry Christmas Blessings to you. ❤️
My husband , who is from ❤Mexico❤ and I absolutely love watching your videos together. I have to get up and start cooking whatever I have in the kitchen because watching you cook and your food makes us so hungry! And we love your presentation. So easy to follow and clean. You are a blessing. I'm so glad I found your channel.
You NEED to write a cookbook! I love watching your videos. I am going to make these with some leftover pork ;0) Thank you for sharing all your wonderful authentic recipes. Side note..... Your nails are GORGEOUS!!
Rachel ur tamales remind me of my Mama! Every Ingredient is authentic just like hers. She's with the Lord now for almost 6yrs . I sure miss her around this time😢. Continuing to carry on her tradition with my Daughter and Grandkids feels me with joy instead of grief! Thanks to you I have taken on new delicious recipes😋. You do more than share you recipes. You impact lives and put smiles on our faces! Merry Christmas Rachel to you and your family. Be blessed 😊💛
Mmmm, looks delicious! You make it look easy to make Tamales. My favorite part of any of your videos is the taste test part. I'm sold every time. 🍽️
Aww, thank you so much for your comment my friend. Merry Christmas Blessings. ❤️
Thanks for making it without a stand mixer. That makes it so much more complicated for me. I can't wait to try it this way! Yayy happy holidays!
You're welcome my friend, so happy it helps. You can do it. Merry Christmas Blessings. ❤️
Rachel, your videos are the best. You speak and move in a clam even pace that is not too fast. Your little helpful tips and reminders throughout are so helpful. Tamales are one of my favorites, but I have yet to work up the courage to make them myself. I am getting close.
Thank you so much for your comment, you can do it my friend. Get your ingredients together then take it one step at a time. Merry Christmas Blessings to you. ❤️
Oh goodness Rachel. I actually believe I can make these. I’ve always been afraid to make these. I’m an experienced home cook, (I just turned 80) but I’ve heard so many horror stories about attempts to make tamales that I’ve shied away from making them. Your directions and suggestions are golden. Thank you.
Thank you so much my friend, make sure you get all your ingredients ready to go, take your time through the steps and clean up a little after each step so you don't get overwhelmed. Play sweet relaxing music and enjoy, I hope my video helps you. Merry Christmas Blessings.❤️
I love your new cutting board! Those tamales look delicious. I’d love to see a tour of all your Christmas decorations. I bet they are gorgeous.
Thank you so much my friend, I have enjoyed decorating for Christmas, I may not be able to post a tour this year, but will remember it for next year. Merry Christmas Blessings to you. ❤️
Prayers to the previous comment, I pray all goes well with your husband's treatment!! Cancer SUCKS!! I dealt with it last year, all good so far.
Rachel, thank you so much for this recipe, my husband and I always have tamales on Christmas eve and yes, we make our own, I've never tried using cream cheese, but it looks fantastic!
Thank you and merry Christmas to you and all you love.
As always….just the BEST ❤ I can’t wait to make these!
You can do it my friend! Thank you for your comment. Merry Christmas Blessings to you and your family. ❤️
You are a wonderful teacher Rachel, thank you!
Years ago, in a locally well respected Mexican restaurant, I ordered something that included a tomatillo sauce. It was SO sour and SO bitter that I wondered how anyone could stand the taste and I've avoided tomatillos ever since. Now I know what was wrong with them. Thanks for the enlightenment.
Isn't she a wonderful teacher? I love her.
@@TuckerSP2011 Absolutely!
Definitely! I've ordered green chilaquiles from a nearby Mexican restaurant and they're so sour that they give me heartburn. I just don't order them anymore.
Thank you so much for your comment, sometimes when when the salsa is a little sour you can add a little sugar but very sour salsa has probably been over boiled.❤️
@@rachelcookswithlove Thank you, Rachel. I think the salsa I had had been boiled for 2 days. 😁
Those tamales look like the epitome of deliciousness.
Thanks So much Rachel ❤️I live in New Zealand and I absolutely drool over anything you cook! I so appreciate your sharing and caring. Merry Christmas to You, your Ron and Whanau (Family) and viewer's too!
Thank you so much my friend, I appreciate your comment all the way from beautiful New Zealand. Merry Christmas Blessings to you. ❤️
Well, I made tamales for the first time, right along with you. I can’t believe I actually did it and they tasted fantastic. Thank you so much. I can’t understand what took me so long and now I’m going to make them once a month. I even got hubby to help roll them and we had a fun time together.
I was looking for a tamales recipe and stumbled on your channel. I can definitely say, the most authentic and true Mexican recipe that I’ve found on TH-cam. Wow, I’ll definitely will make this for my family. Super excited.
Enjoy every bite my friend, thank you so much.❤️
We love you, Ms. Rachel! Your skills in the kitchen and your easy-to-understand instructions are beyond compare. Christmas blessings to you and your family.
Thank you so much my friend. Merry Christmas Blessings to you too.❤️
Thank you for sharing.
Tamales are one of my favorite foods. Green Chile Chicken are a New Mexico Christmas tradition! I want to try your recipe because I have never used cream cheese in my tamales! I think the cream cheese will make the tamales creamy! I have never put allspice in the broth or maza. Wonderful idea! Thank you for improving my tamales!! Merry Christmas!
Enjoy my friend, I hope you enjoy them as much we do. Merry Christmas Blessings to you. ❤️
I have tried several recipes using masa (not masa harina) where you have to mix the lard until fluffy, and I have never liked the several recipes I've tried.
I decided to give this one a try because adding melted lard seemed so much easier than mixing "the hell out of it. LOL". So, First time using masa harina and first time using melted lard.
I made them with the chicken in green sauce + slice of cream cheese in every tamale.
Thank you sooooo much!!! These tamales are delicious.
I just made some adjustments on saltiness and baking powder :
- For the salsa I used the 2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon + 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
- for the masa I used 1 1/4 teaspoon salt + 2 1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon.
And 1 Tablespoon (3 teaspoons) baking powder.
Rachel beautiful recipe. I think I might try this with my daughters for New Year’s. I made your ham and white bean soup with a few adjustments, we were snowed in. It turned out fabulous my whole family loved it. thank you.. absolutely love watching your channel.❤️✌️🌼
So happy you enjoyed it my friend, enjoy and Merry Christmas Blessings. ❤️
@@rachelcookswithlove Merry Christmas Rachel and Ron.🎄❤️✌️🌼
OMG my mouth is watering 😋❤️‼️ I love green sauce I'm going to make these!! Thank you Miss Rachel!!
You're welcome my friend, enjoy. ❤️
Thank you Rachel for sharing your yummy recipe for this Tamale recipe!! Here in Central Texas tamales are a great favorite. Never did I think that I would be able to make them myself. Your recipe and awesome instructions on how to get them “Rachel Perfect” have inspired me to make them!!
Thank you my so very much!!!
I pray for God’s abundant blessings over your family this Christmas and New Year!! I look forward to to more delicious recipes from your channel!!! 🙏♥️🎄🎉
You're welcome my friend, sure you can do it, I love to make them with family, but I also work real well alone. I love to get all my ingredients together, then I play soft beautiful music and always clean up after a step and it always works so well. Merry Christmas Blessings to you. ❤️
Thank you, my dear. ♥️ I am truly blessed to have found your “Rachel Cooks With Love” channel! I think I speak for most everyone who has subscribed to your channel, we feel your love in every recipe 😍 You are a treasure and thank you, again, for all your blessings of delicious recipes that you share with us!😊
I have used your recipe . My tamales turned out sooo delicious . Everybody in my family likes them . Your presentation is clear ,easy to understand . Thank you so much.
Might change my menu for Christmas. I made tamales once took me all day, but I used banana leaves. In reality Mrs.Rachael how long did this take you. My ex was Mexican and on Christmas Eve we had this but they made hundreds and had several ladies in the kitchen help is great w tamales. Lol but this green chili recipe is a lot easier then the red sauce I used years ago.
Me encantan sus recetas, yo soy salvadoreña pero me gusta la comida mexicana y me gusta aprender, también me gusta su canal porque me ayuda con mi inglés, le mandó muchas bendiciones y deseo que pase una feliz navidad junto a sus seres queridos.
This recipe looks so delicious!!! I will make for my family 🥰Thank you for sharing 💐Happy Holidays to you and your family 🎄🌸😍❣️

I have cooked the following with zero problems!

2. Beef enchiladas
3. Rojo chicken enchiladas
4. Corn tortillas
5. Tamales verde con pollo
Has always you are a master at teaching us! I love watching you cook. These made my mouth water!🤤 😋
I have made tamales with chicken, Jack cheese and green olives, I think I will try the cream cheese next time. Sounds delicious
Thank you so much, enjoy my friend. Merry Christmas Blessings. ❤️
Rachel your cooking is authentic with a twist of new ideas. I love how simple you make your instructions and tips to make it come out right. I've been trying to make chicken tamales on my own and now I see what I'm doing right and wrong. You're so smart for laying the steamer on it's side! Thank you and Feliz Navidad! ❤
Thank you so much for your recipe, tamales look absolutely delicious,👍
My new daughter in law is Latina. We were supposed to make tamales for the first time for Christmas but my husband and I got Covid. We will do something later of course but this video makes me feel better and gave me a smile. Thank you and God Bless you. Merry Christmas! Glad I found your channel!
Looks and tastes great.
❤️
Wow, never thought of using cream cheese. Looks delicious.
BEST TAMALE RECIPE I HAVE COME ACROSS THANK YOU SO MUCH! AND I HAVE THAT BAG OF MASA ALREADY
Wow Rachel, you make it look so easy, I’m going to definitely try this, thank you for your recipes, wishing you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year
Thank you so much, you can fo it. Merry Christmas Blessings my friend. ❤️
Hi Rachel I tried making these Tamales tonight. I couldn't find large corn husk. I bought a spice grinder today. I wish I had put the masa thicker. I made the masa ball and used plastic to spread way easier. I put a turkey in the oven & used that meat. First time making these different but very tasty thank you. Merry Christmas love watching you & Ron 🌲
Rachel, you have such a teaching talent for describing how everything should look and how to make it the right way. You have me thinking that I can actually make some Christmas tamales this year! Ones I have known before were a family affair with everyone in the kitchen and assembling together. Awesome Christmas fun! Thank you
I always enjoy making tamales with family, and I really enjoy making them alone too, I always get all my ingredients ready and take the steps one at a time and it will all flow easy. I hope my video helps you. Merry Christmas Blessings. ❤️
@@rachelcookswithlove how would you make one with beef not too spicy for kiddos? Thank you
Oh Rachel you are a champion! It all looks so tasty and I would like to make this with a friend💖🌹
Thank you Rachel for sharing such a delicious recipe. We can always count on you for excellent instructions.
Wishing you and your Ron a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from a Texas fan.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment my friend, my Ron and I thank you so much. Merry Christmas Blessings to you and your family. ❤️
I love watching you. So glad I found you. I love tamales but never made them. Lived in Texas most of my life, and on Christmas Eve after church, we gathered with friends and had chili and tamales. Thanks for the memories.
So nice to hear that and thank you for watching ❤️😊
Hi Rachel, I love watching your cooking shows. I have learned so much from you. I appreciate you for sharing your delicious recipes with us. Just wanted to say thank you and Ron for all your time. Have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
You're welcome my friend, thank you so much for your sweet comment. Merry Christmas Blessings to you. ❤️
What a beautiful presentation so calm so detailed! You made me believe i CAN cook this.
I love these Rachel! You make it look so easy. We don’t have those big,beautiful tomatillos here in Oregon. I wonder if a jar of salsa verde would be okay? I would love to make these to take to our son’s home on Christmas Eve.
I've never tried it my friend so it's hard to tell, if it's bland and acidic you might have to season it I would think. ❤️
Hi Judy! I have used whole canned tomatillos (in a pinch) when making salsa verde & it turns out just as good as when I use fresh. Usually found in the Latin food section but I think you can also order on Amazon if your local market doesn't carry them. Merry Christmas!
I can’t wait to try your recipe! It looks delicious, as soon as I’m over covid 😞 even if it’s after the holidays, I love Tamales 🫔 especially rajas con queso, but these intrigued me, never tried with cream cheese, Wishing you & your family a very Merry Christmas 🎄 and Blessed New Year ♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼 Stay safe & healthy
Thank you so much, I hope you feel better soon my friend, so you can enjoy. Merry Christmas Blessings. ❤️
@@RamonaAnne Lol so true 😂 never thought of it like that! Sounds yummy! Yes raja con queso definitely my favorite ♥️
@@rachelcookswithlove You are so welcome 🙏🏼 Ahhhh thank you 🙏🏼 Stay blessed ♥️🫶🏼
My favorite tamales ever. Being a New Mexican I like green or red. Thank you for sharing. Your instructions are so clear.
Oh, Rachel.. you've done it again! These look so yummy!
I’m so happy to see you Rachel! The last video I continue to watch every time is the potatoe salad. I love making your potatoe salad. I love that you explain why things are done. Helps me understand why I have to do it.
Thank you for your videos of delicious food.
I love your page you have shown me so much please continue showing us more you're the best from Santa Rosa Texas
I love how you make the instructions very clear. The absolute best teacher of Mexican cooking hands down!
Praying your husband feels better and yes listening to her so calm discovered her videos and I love it

I'll never make these, but they look delicious. 🥰
Rachael you,re the best authentic food maker ever
Oh my goodness Rachel the tamales look so delicious. Bendiciones familia.🌼🤗💖💞🥰♥️🙏🙏
You always explain things so clearly it takes the fear out of trying to make something new. I just made your meatloaf recipe and it was delicious, even my friend who hates meatloaf liked it and asked me for the recipe. Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much for letting me know and for sharing, so happy you enjoyed it my friend. Merry Christmas Blessings. ❤️
I tried your recipe. They turned out great. I was surprised. I did bake them instead of steaming. Thank you so much for the stellar instructions.
Details please!!
Looks so delicious. I love Tamales when they done right ❤️🥰
Thank you so much for your comment my friend. Merry Christmas Blessings to you. ❤️
Looks delicious…great job explaining
I will be trying to make them this Christ-mas !! Thank you.
Rachel I believe you have become one of my favorite teachers. D😊evil Saenz. It was always a “TOP SECRET” thing in my family so we never learned how to make tamales or tortillas. I APPRECIATE YOU. SEGUIN, TEXAS🙏🏼🌟😊
Dear Mrs. Rachel - You just inspired me to make pollo tamales which I love so much. I always buy but a good one is hard to find. It's done very sloppy and not really tasting good. I will watch your demo again to see more of your wonderful step by step instructions. You are a great chef and I think I am very blessed to come across your channel. Also, I have decided not to use any chile/picantes so I thought it will make it easier and or will cut some steps shorter. Many thanks for all your other wonderful recipes. I'm getting excited now to start with making my first pollo tamales making. Raquel in LA, CA
I have been cooking with you all this year and everything has turned out perfect!
So happy to know this, thank you so much for letting me know. Merry Christmas Blessings to you. ❤️
Rachael my husband is from Mexico City and I have learn to cook mexican food well, I stumble on your channel because my granddaughter wanted me to make chicken enchilada and I wanted a sauce that was homemade and your 5 star enchilada was the one I used. It was exceptional and I've subscribed to your channel you are an amazing cook and your technique is exceptional thank you for all your beautiful receipe wishing you and Ron a Merry Christmas and Happy New year. God bless
It's been a loooong time since I made tamales with my mother in law and she used the masa that is like a dough in the store then you mix in the sauce. I loved this video so much. I was looking for a recipe that is easier to handle and won't require the neighborhood to come help. My daughter wants to make tamales this year for Christmas. We will make your recipe. Wish us luck!❤
Rachel and Chef John from Food Wishes are my favorite videos to watch from start to finish. 👍
My favorite. Thank you so much. My neighbor used to fix these every Christmas for our church dinner..they are so wonderful..all your recipes are outstanding. I've tried many. Merry Christmas with love Rachel
Awesome video! I've been making tamales for years, but I have to admit you are MUCH neater than I am about it, lol! And I had no clue what it was that was making my green sauce so sour, I had no idea that you had to boil them on low until they were olive-colored, and not let the skins break....AND let them cool completely, thank you so much for that info! I also use your red sauce for enchiladas, best sauce I have EVER tasted or made- thanks again!
I really like that you explain step by step. Alot of videos we see for making tamales don't give us the complete steps. I'm new, watching you and just love learning new tricks. Thank you so much
As soon as you took them off the stove it sounded like I heard the doorbell ring 😂 I guess your neighbors could smell them. Tamales look delicious, you make it look so easy. Thank you for a great recipe.
Christmassy ambience,
In Rachel's kitchen,
Is making a wonderful difference.
Precise and accurate,
Tasty and delicious.
Merry Christmas to you dear Rachel and your Ron too.🌲❤💕😋
They look deliciosos!
I love the idea of the pot, i usually struggle with them.
Thank you so much…
I love these
Wow, you really know how to teach us in such a perfect manner. I can't wait to prepare your Chicken Green Sauce Tamales. You are still my best Mexican cook. Happy New Year and many blessings to you and your family.
You have a great way to load them in the pot! Ty!
They look super delicious yummy
Looks so delicious thanks for sharing
Thank you, Rachel! ❤️💚
this unique recipe looks delicious blew my mind watching
I most definitely have food envy! Love tamales! Any and all! Merry Christmas to you Rachel and to your Ron! ❤ 🤶🎅
I am going to try the cream cheese tamales.
Thank you so much for showing your tamale making process. I love watching you make these delicious treasures, one of my favorite foods! You make it look easy but I know better. Very time consuming. Thank you again.
Los tamales son laboriosos pero alfinal todo vale la pena . Gracias por compartir receta. 💯👍🙂
Yummy 🎉 I’ll have hubby make these! Thanks so much for sharing as usual!
Yummy,,we will try
Merry Christmas, Rachel. Thank you for every one of you recipes and your skill.
Usted hace que parezca todo tan fácil. Se ven riquísimos los tamales
I just did my chicken tamales last night and I wish I had watched this video first!!! What a nice way of laying the tamales in the pot!
I enjoyed watching this peaceful video, thank you
My mother in law, God rest her soul, made the best sweet tamales ever. Will you kindly show us that wonderful recipe? I discovered you yesterday so excited
