Tamale Tuesday

I've been on a tamale kick lately. They're time consuming especially if you're working solo but so worth it since they freeze easily.

Prepping:

Tamales 001
Tamales 003
Tamales 005
Tamales 006
Top to bottom: 1. Premade Masa 2. Husks softening on the stove 3. Fillings: Clockwise from top-Chorizo with mole sauce, seasoned chicken, chicken with mole sauce 4. My "assembly line on the kitchen 

Assembling:

Tamales 008
Tamales 009
Tamales 010
Tamales 011Top to bottom: 1. Masa spread in the husk 2. Chorizo filling 3. folding up the tamale 4. All tied up!

  Top to bottom: 1. One tamale waiting for many more to fill up the steamer 2. Mom's helpers carrying the full steamer to the stove 3. All cooked and ready to eat!
