Preparation

Taco Preparation

1. Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and onions are translucent, about 7-10 minutes.

2. Season the Beef

Stir in taco seasoning and a small amount of water (about 1/4 cup). Simmer for 5 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Tamale Preparation

3. Prepare the Masa

In a large bowl, combine corn masa flour with vegetable broth. Mix until a dough forms. It should be moist but not sticky.

4. Prepare the Filling

In a separate bowl, mix shredded chicken with chili powder and cheddar cheese until combined.

5. Assemble the Tamales

Take a small amount of masa dough and flatten it out in your hands. Place a tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center and fold the masa around it to form a pocket. Wrap in corn husks.

Cooking the Tamales

6. Steam the Tamales

Place the wrapped tamales in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 1 hour, or until the masa is firm.
