Directions:
Let’s start on the dough - in a microwave safe bowl add cheese and melt at 30 second intervals.
Add in all ingredients for your dough and mix well. Taste dough and adjust to taste.
Spread a small layer of lard on your washed corn husk and then your dough. Do this for all of your corn husks and set aside
Shred your meat with a fork. You’re going to place your your shredded meat on the stove with your blended sauce. Cook this together for about 5 mins until combined.
Now, assemble. You’re going to add your meat on top of your dough, roll and fold up (this is better seen in the video)
Using a large steamer, fill your pot at the bottom with water. You’re going to start stacking your tamales, placing them on a ring on the outside.
Steam tamales for 1 hr until the dough is not sticking to corn husk.
Enjoy them steamed with salsa, or pan fry them!
