Ingredients

Taco Filling

Preparation

Taco Preparation

1. Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

2. Add Seasoning

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through.

3. Prepare Taco Shells

Warm taco shells in the oven according to package instructions.

4. Assemble Tacos

Fill each taco shell with refried beans, the beef mixture, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.

Tamale Preparation

5. Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, mix the corn masa flour, olive oil, and chicken broth until a soft dough forms. If too dry, add a little more broth.

6. Prepare the Filling

In another bowl, combine the shredded chicken and chili powder. Mix well to ensure the chicken is well coated.

7. Assemble Tamales

Take a soaked corn husk, spread a spoonful of dough in the center, add a spoonful of the chicken filling, and fold the husk over to seal.

8. Steam Tamales

Place the tamales upright in a steamer pot and steam for about 1 hour. Ensure water does not touch the tamales.
