Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Masa

    In a large bowl, combine blue corn masa, water, and salt. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it is too dry, add a little more water.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a separate bowl, mix together queso fresco, cooked shredded chicken, and chopped green chiles. Ensure the mixture is well combined.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Form the Tamales

    Take a small ball of masa (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten it into a circle on a piece of corn husk. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center and fold the husk over to enclose the filling. Tie the ends with a strip of husk or kitchen twine.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan, boil tomatillos until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and blend with garlic, cilantro, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 5

    Steam the Tamales

    Place the tamales upright in a steamer basket. Steam for about 1 hour, adding water to the pot as necessary to prevent burning. The tamales are done when the masa separates easily from the husk.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tamales hot, drizzled with the prepared tomatillo sauce.
