Tomorrow is a different day. YAY for that! I did end up making some good homemade tamales, though! Hey, bad days aren't an excuse for eating poorly!!!
Poblano pepper tamales
Masa Dough
1 3/4 c. masa harina (instant corn masa mix)
1 3/4 c water
1 c. corn kernels
2 TBS. veggie oil
1/2 tsp. of salt
Filling
1 tsp. veggie oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2 poblano peppers, thinly sliced
6 oz. queso fresco, or Monterey jack
Tamale wrappers or parchment paper
Saute your veggies in the oil until crisp but cooked. Chop up your cheese into little pieces. Make your dough by mixing all the dough ingredients together! Now is the time to put it all together! In your tamale wrapper, put a little bit of dough and spread it on about a third of the wrapper. Next add your filling, not too much. Finally put the cheese on. Now comes the fun part. WRAPPING THEM!!!! Wrap it into a burrito type deal and fold up the bottom end. Finish putting all the tamales together! After they are all assembled, pop them into your steamer. My steamer was a GIANT stock pot with an upside down bowl on the bottom with a plate on the top. I put water in the bottom and the tamales on top of the plate. Steam your tamales for an hour. Take them out and let them cool a bit, they will firm up and become more tamale like!!!!! THEN EAT!
Makes 12 ish!
