It seemed like a tamale making kind of day so that is exactly what I did. Izzy wanted to learn so she helped me. We made pork and chicken tamales. It takes all day to make tamales. We start the night before cooking the chicken and pork so that it is tender and very flavorful. Then next day early in the morning you start soaking the corn husks and making the mesa. After the mesa has rested for a bit, it is time to start rolling the tamales. It takes practice to get a thin layer of mesa and roll it without cracking. Once you have them rolled, it is time to steam them. At the end of the day you have this huge batch of tamales and they are so so delicious and well worth your time. Best thing about making tamales today? Spending time with Izzy.
