Are you ready to explore the world of Mexican cuisine? Elote tamales are a delicious and authentic dish that will transport your taste buds south of the border. In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to create mouthwatering elote tamales from scratch. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of masa harina
  • 1 cup of fresh corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 8-10 dried corn husks

Instructions:

Step 1: Soak the dried corn husks in warm water for about 30 minutes to soften them.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina, vegetable shortening, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until crumbly.

Step 3: In a blender or food processor, puree the fresh corn kernels until smooth.

Step 4: Gradually add the pureed corn and chicken broth to the masa mixture. Mix until the dough becomes smooth and pliable.

Step 5: Take a soaked corn husk and spread a thin layer of the masa dough on the smooth side of the husk. Leave a border around the edges to fold later.

Step 6: Spoon a tablespoon of your favorite filling, such as cheese, roasted peppers, or shredded chicken, onto the center of the masa dough.

Step 7: Fold the sides of the corn husk towards the center, enclosing the filling, and fold the bottom part up. You can secure it with a thin strip of husk if needed.

Step 8: Repeat steps 5 to 7 until all the masa dough and filling are used. It should make approximately 8-10 tamales.

Step 9: Place a steamer basket in a large pot filled with water. Arrange the tamales vertically in the steamer, open-side up, and cover the pot with a lid.

Step 10: Steam the tamales over medium heat for about 1 hour, or until the masa is cooked and easily separates from the corn husks.

Step 11: Remove the tamales from the steamer and let them cool for a few minutes. Unwrap the corn husks and serve the tamales warm with your favorite salsa or toppings.

There you have it! A step-by-step guide to make delicious elote tamales. Enjoy the flavors of Mexico in the comfort of your own home. Buen provecho!
