Tamale and Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tamale

    Soak corn husks in warm water for about 30 minutes. In a large bowl, mix masa harina, chicken broth, and vegetable oil until it forms a dough. In a separate pot, cook the pork shoulder with taco seasoning until tender, then shred the meat. Spread masa dough on soaked corn husks, place shredded pork in the center, and fold the husks. Steam the tamales for about 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Taco

    In a skillet, cook the taco shells according to package instructions. In a separate pan, prepare your choice of rice or beans. Assemble the taco by filling the shell with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and optional cheese. Serve the taco alongside the rice or beans.
