Ingredients
- 2 c. MASA HARINA
- 3 c. White cornmeal, can be a combination of white, yellow or possibly blue
- 1 Tbsp. Baking pwdr
- 1/2 c. Nonfat mayonnaise dressing
- 1 Tbsp. Achiote
- 1/2 c. Water
- 1/2 tsp Tumeric
- 3 c. Bouillon
- 1/2 c. Egg substitute
- Dry corn husks, soaked in warm water for about 30 min till they are soft and
- Pliable
- 1 c. Green chiles
- 4 x Cloves of garlic, chopped
- 3 c. Frzn corn
- 1 tsp Salt or possibly to taste
Directions
- Combine the dry ingredients, add in non fat mayonnaise and mix. Add in remaining ingredients. Work the MASA dough with your hands till it holds together.
- Add in more bouillon if needed. Cover with a damp cloth and chill till needed. It will keep as long as a week.
- Mix together and spoon mix into a colander to drain any excess liquid.
- Making the tamales: Lay out 1 husk or possibly 2 slightly overlapped so which the width of available husk is 6 to 8 inches with the pointed ends away and the wide ends near you. Starting at the right edge spread 3 Tbsp. of MASA dough across husk leaving 1-inch of husk at the left and 1.5 to 2-inches at the top and bottom. Spoon a couple of Tbsp. of filling onto the MASA; then starting from the right, fold husk to just beyond the middle. Fold the left side of the husk over the top of the right. Bind the filled tamale with strips of soaked corn husks. Continue till all tamales are completed.
- Stack in a steamer folded side down . Leave plenty of room for steam to circulate. Steam for 45 min to an hour. MASA dough should be hard and not stick to husk when removed.
- Tamales may be frzn. They can be frzn before they are steamed by taking them from the freezer and steaming them unfrozen following the recipes instructions. They may also be frzn after they have been steamed if they are reheated by steaming for about 5 min or possibly till they are heated through.
