Tamale and Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tamale Dough

    In a large bowl, mix masa harina, vegetable broth, vegetable oil, salt, cumin, and chili powder until well combined. The dough should be soft and pliable.

  2. 2

    Soak the Corn Husks

    Soak corn husks in warm water for about 30 minutes until they are pliable.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tamales

    Take a corn husk, spread about 2 tablespoons of the masa dough in the center, add a tablespoon of mixed vegetables, and fold the sides of the husk over the filling, then tie with a strip of husk.

  4. 4

    Steam the Tamales

    Place tamales upright in a steamer pot and steam for about 1 hour or until the masa is firm.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Quesadilla

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle cheese evenly over half of the tortilla, fold the other half over, and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tamale alongside the cheese quesadilla, garnished with salsa or guacamole, if desired.
