Tamale Assembly Ingredients
Method
Tamale Assembly and Cooking
- 1
Soak Corn Husks
Soak the corn husks in warm water for at least 30 minutes to soften them before wrapping.

Assemble Tamales
Take a soaked corn husk and spread about 2 tablespoons of tamale dough in the center. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling on top of the dough. Fold the sides of the husk over the dough and filling, then fold the bottom of the husk up to secure.

Steam Tamales
Place the assembled tamales upright in a steamer basket. Fill the bottom of the steamer with water (about 4 cups) and bring to a boil. Cover and steam for about 1 hour, or until the masa is firm and cooked through.
