Guys!! I've been waiting all year to share this recipe with you. It's a Christmas tradition for my family and I and trust me, they are AMAZING and you will not miss out on the real thing. Thank you so much for joining me today (and my mom, she's so cute in the back). We love you guys and please let me know what other recipes you want next. Do you want different types of tamales? 💗
Thank you! For over 20 years now my mom, who is the cook in the family, can't have corn or wheat. She always cooks food for everyone, including her amazing tamales and posole but is never able to enjoy her tasty food herself. This year I made a big batch of your tamales for her and she was soooo excited! She loved the recipe, thank you for giving an 80 year old mexican mom her tamales back! :)
Maybe your whole family will find out how healthy a low carb lifestyle is, and you and your Mom can make family dinners keto for everyone. More happy years together that way!
Giiiiiiirl, when I tell you that I'm almost crying right now!🤯😍 I NEVER thought I'd be able to have tamales again without feeling sick from the corn or having my momma eat them then suffer with high blood sugar! I'm about to get everything and surprise my family. Their little "We eat more Mexican food than traditional soul food" hearts are about to be blessed! Thank you!!🥰🥰🥰
OMG we just made our first batch of tamales ever, and they were FANTASTIC. We added one tablespoon of sweet corn extract to your recipe. We made 21 tamales in one 4 cup almond flour batch. They came out at 439 calories each. My husband couldn't stop eating them. Thank you so much. I love following you and every recipe of your's that I have tried has been wonderful!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Made them last night. You made me crave them so much that around 5 in the evening I went to the store and bought every single item lol. My very first time making tamales ever, never had I even seen someone make them in my life! And let me tell you....they came out delicious!!!!!! I ended up making them "de res" and my husband said he gives them 20 stars 🌟 🤭🧡 thanks for sharing!
Yes I made it exactly how she made it, the only difference is that I used a different meat. Oh and for the dough at the end I ended up adding a little bouillon and cumin. I made about 30 tamales, but I still had leftover meat. It was my first time wrapping a tamale so they were a little small 🤭They were small but very tasty and flavorful
I loved seeing your mom in the kitchen with you. When I was about 7, a woman named Lupe taught me to make traditional pork burritos. I still make them the way she taught me 53 years later. Watching your mom in the kitchen with you took me back and enjoyed learning how to make tamales. Blessings to you both.
My husband is on Keto now for 6 mths, he has lost 50 lbs so far. I’m making regular tamales and did not know what I could feed him on Christmas Eve, I am definitely making this recipe and am so excited that he gets to eat some tamales too. Thank you!
There is another lady that created a Keto Tamale using chicken. They are great and zero carb. Her channel is Keto Mexican Recipes. I can't wait to try this recipe with the almond flour!! 🤗
Was wondering about that with the taste since I’ve never had almond flour before and it looks so good 🤤yum and you use lard so that definitely gives it the flavor, but is that safe for Keto? Thanks 🙏
Hey I have a question I want to make some but it’s only me and my husband at home. Like for 3 dozen how much measurements should I do. Do you leave them going in medium or high
Interesting to see how the enchilada sauce is made and that it’s authentic and a family recipe… nice to see your mom with you on this video giving her guidance… ♥️
I use to eat tamales a lot when I was a kid. Don’t remember when I last had a good tamale. My mouth was watering watching you. I have been moving toward keto and cleaner eating.
Hello 👋 from Germany 🇩🇪 I am Keto now for almost 8 months and was craving some Tamales 🫔 so I tried your recipe and it is out of this world delicious 😋 I do not eat lard so I substitute it with Avocado oil and it was perfect 👌 wow I just want to thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe which in my opinion is the best one Keto specialty recipe I’ve tried in my 8 months with Keto 🤩 again God bless you for sharing it!
Girl you just made our Christmas!!! I’m so excited to surprise my husband with these. Tamales are our favorite. Bless your mama for creating this recipe. Can we get more of her salsas too soon. ❤️
As a Texas girl, this is sooo what I needed. Always have tamales 🫔 over Christmas and I was wondering how I could this year. So trying this all your recipes are a hit with my family.
What does Texas have to do with tamales lol .. it’s a Mexican meal depending what type of Tamal is being done .. cause they can also be from Veracruz or El Salvador, Honduras
@@93aihtnyc I understand the origin. We have a very large Hispanic population in Texas and it’s very common amongst every Texan regardless of ethnicity to eat Tamales around Christmas.
@@angelaatwood486 well yeah I mean my family is pretty big aswell here in Texas and we’re Hispanic aswell and we eat tamales for Christmas too but I mean I don’t consider myself a “Texan” cause I’m from Texas lol.. we just keep it traditional and we make Mexican food for Christmas which is tamales , menudo , and for the ppl that don’t eat it we make a carne asada
This Texican gal feels this. You ain't gotta be Mexican from Mexico to enjoy Tamales. But Christmas for us is definitely the time that we spend in the kitchen making all of our favorite foods because it is not usually hot. Although this year, it is 75 at night and humid. I still have tomatoes growing 😆 You know what else is good? Fajitas, a big ass pot of frijoles, grilled tortillas, salsa and sipping on that Don Julio and dancing until you fall over. 👌 Girl, enjoy this time of year and eat what ever you want and celebrate it BIG !
We love tamales! I don’t know if it makes a difference with the almond flour but my mama said try whipping the lard or shortening till it’s kinda fluffy then continue with the rest. I think that makes them fluffy but they look yummy to me!! Thanks for sharing Myra! Tell your mama thanks too!
Love your momma in the background, I see where you get your good looks I would love to see you cook more with her, I'm sure you would get more subscribers for we all love our momma's and thank you for making Hispanic keto meals, I'm from southern California and I grew up eating Hispanic foods and now I can still have it on my keto diet, thank you thank you thank you now I can truly enjoy my keto diet thanks to you and your mom Im a newbie to keto again thank you
So, I finally made these…took me all day! I don’t like too much spice, so I took out a couple of the spicer chiles, and added in a large one of the milder ones. The pork mixture turned out great! My husks were small pieces, which made it hard to wrap them, and some came open when steaming. I wasn’t too fond of the texture, but after putting them in the air fryer and crisping them up some, they were amazing! Next time I’ll make the meat mixture the day before so it’ll go quicker! 💖
I don’t like things too spicy. If I were buying salsa in a store I would stick with mild to medium spice level. Did your substitution of chiles make it more like a medium spice level? Can you clarify which types you removed (and how many) and what type you added (and how many). I’m COMPLETELY clueless about peppers.🤣 I was wondering how spicy her recipe is. Love the suggestion to make the pork mixture the day before. Thank you so much for your comment. And reply back to me if you give one. 🙏🏻😁
Ya tengo mi receta para el día de la Candelaria! Yeiiii muchas gracias a ti y tu mami por compartir su receta 🤗 no hay nada mejor que las recetas que pasan de generación en generación, qué bonito que cocinen juntas 💖
I have made these several times including today and wanted to thank you for introducing them! I assumed tamales were off my menu living low carb and was so happy to have them again. I use a scoop (like an ice cream scoop) and press my “masa” balls in a tortilla press to get them flat and uniform. I can knock out a couple dozen in 15/20 minutes and they steam up awesome because they are the same thickness. Got some pork, some black bean and jalepeno, and chicken and cheese for dinner tonight. Always a crowd pleaser and my family (even those who are not low carb) like them as much as the masa tamales I made years ago.
Garbanzo bean flour is keto friendly and tastes just like corn meal. I make a keto cornbread that tastes exactly like the real thing! I would love to try this recipe with a little of that added in. Looks so delicious
My brother and I made these today and regular tamales for his wife kids and suegra. We used the keto meat and sauce for both sets and it all turned out amazing. Thank you for the recipes, we also make a salsa verde for half of them.
Omg I'm dying to eat this! I LOVE tamales! And my family gathers at my grammas every Christmas Eve for tamales, rice and beans. This year I don't think it's going to happen because of Covid and it's so depressing. This video is great and looks so close to the real thing. It lifted my spirits. Thank you! I will definitely try this recipe soon. My favorite is also rajas con queso! Lastly I love how you say tama-leez, just like me and my fam LOL!
I cook my puerco in the crockpot, it comes out perfectly. Sure it take a long time, but there's nothing like that smell! You can start it at night and by next morning it will be done!
Tried this recipe. Taste and texture is darn almost identical! Equally delicious! Some tips: 1) I used the water from canned corn, with half the kernels to steam the tamales (and added water of course).. This added corn flavor and probably catbs, but I justify this that these are still probably significantly less carbs that the real deal. 2) The cheese adds a lot of salt. If I were to do this again I would add the chicken buoillion only and incrementally add the remaining salt and perhaps omit the salt altogether. 3)I used melted butter to spread on the corn husks instead of lard. If I were to do this again, I’d use unsalted butter. This added a bit more salt than I would’ve liked but worked great and added a nice flavor. Thank you sooo much for this recipe! This is officially my most favorite keto dupe recipe! Sooooo so good! I don’t even think there’s much of a difference.
@@LowCarbLove thank you for sharing your family recipe. Ever since the fast food places brought out tamales, I searched for a KETO version. The ones that are brought back in those fast food places are extremely salty. But I eat them anyways just for a fix. But not satisfied in the end. I will be getting the ingredients and I'll let you know just how much yumminess it is 🤗🤗🤗. Again, thank you so much. Your family is blessed to have you and your mom make this. Marry Christmas 💯❤️💓🌲🎄💖🎀
So intriguing!! A fat head dough to sub for masa!! My friends with families are making tamales today!! The details about the steaming process really helps. Thanks for your Mama’s family recipe! Thanks a million!. KETO!
All I can say is girl you did that 👏👏❤ I found your pizza crust recipe on Instagram and then I found your tamale one after that. I am officially a new subscriber. You make the best keto recipes absolutely off top. Thank you and keep making videos please.
Oh! This makes me miss my sweet neighbor Ana who made the best tamales. It would take 2 days. This was so well done & I just may do this on a cold winter day. The sauce alone would be worth making!
Oh, my gosh! I know this is an older video, but it just showed up in my feed. I thught I'd never be able to have tamales again, because of the carbs. I can't wait to try these! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤
Hola te acabo de conoser i me encanta k ables español muy buena persona. Muchas grasias por aser esas ricuras para nosotros saludos para toda tu familia k salga mas seguido tu mama en los videos k hermosa familia k dios los bendiga siempre
You are such an awesome inspiration. I have binged watched so many of your videos. I'm going to start my journey on January 1, 21. I have looked for someone to follow and you are that person. Thank you so much for your recipes and words of encouragement. You truly are awesome. 💜
You tell mama thank you it is so difficult to do keto especially when you love things like Hispanic cooking and you don’t know how to convert thing so thank you ever so much for doing this for us love you too
So eager to try this out! I haven't been able to eat, much less cook, tamales for the past 20 years because of a corn sensitivity. Had been wanting to try our family's traditional pork filling with a masa typical of Puerto Rican pasteles, but then I went keto. Now, I have renewed hope! Still not sure I'll risk a reaction to the corn husk, but there's always the southern Mexican tamale on banana leaves! Muchisimas gracias! 🥰
Omgggggg finally!!! The day is finally here!! I remember you recipe testing last year and then i couldn't find the recipe! But now my prayers have been answered!! Thanks Mayra!! 😘😘
Listened to this one year ago- got too give it a try. I have been collecting the chilies (I don’t know if I found all of the chilies)and the corn husks! I presently live in Alaska, I’m Southern California born and raised, lived in Costa Mesa, my brother even lived in Downey. Thanks a gazillion!
I’m definitely making these this weekend and then again for Christmas!!! My birthday is the 23rd of December so that’ll be my excuse for making them twice!!! 😂
You are a beautiful presenter and food chef/cook. The choice of food "Tamales" is a staple of the Mexican culture and I am sure there are many eyes watching your every move. This Keto Tamale dish is by all standards delicious. Than being said, thank you for the show and the recipe. PS, so lucky to have the "Master" chef/cook beside you.
What is in the bottle on the tray with the masa spices? Looks like it says “Corn Bread” flavoring. I was thinking of adding some Amoretti Sweet Corn extract because that’s what I use to make my keto cornbread.
I want to know the same exact thing! Idk why she would leave that out! But Im going to put corn extract I'm sure its a game changer! I'll try with and without lets see which I like best! 😊
I am so glad I found this video. I am a tamale junky and thought I will never be able to have them again since having weight loss surgery and starting a keto life style. I can not wait to make these. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for answering an unspoken prayer. I was just discussing this very topic in a recent conversation regarding traditional family recipes that are linked with the celebration of our Savior’s birth. The “many hands” makes for quick work. I recalled the aromas of my Tia Eva’s kitchen in Corpus Christi, Texas when my father took us down there for a family reunion. I have Barrera, Trevino and Dominguez in my bloodline when my grandmother fell in love with a tall, angular, ivory-skinned Irish man fresh off the boat. They had sixteen (16) children. My father had many, many stories but his favorite were of helping his mother in the kitchen. When I was watching you, I was thinking you are so lovely to do this for all of us out here wishing we could enjoy the foods of our memories but avoid the issues of diet-related illnesses such as T2 Diabetes, cancer, heart disease and more. Muchos Gracias, my dear! You asked for suggestions, so here are mine: 1.) Cube the pork shoulder while the salted bone roasts in your 500 degree Fahrenheit oven for 25 minutes 2.) Season with salt before pan-searing the cubes of pork shoulder, fat-side down to render out the fat and crisp the exterior. The Maillard Reaction of the caramelizing fat and meat will give an intense flavor to the puerco. 3.) Toast the dried chilis in a dry skillet over medium heat to release the oils and deepen their flavor. 4.) Place the golden brown pork bone and the chunks of seared pork in your pressure cooker with the pan jus. 5.) Pan Jus: Use the drippings from the pan-seared pork to sauté the onion and garlic before deglazing the fond in the skillet with warm water. 6.) The cooking time will be MUCH shorter since it’s in much smaller pieces. 7.) Remove the chunks of soft pork to a bowl before adding the toasted chilis in the resultant broth in the cooker before blending with a stick blender. Taste for seasoning (add your cumin, salt and pepper at that time). 8.) Pour over your pork and stir to quickly shred the meat into the sauce. I love the fact that you used fathead dough as your masa. I had been watching that pan of cornbread on your stove thinking you’d use it to become the basis of your masa as that’s what I plan to do. I use a 50/50 portion of CarbQuik and almond flour with baking powder, corn extract (Amoretti’s), salt, eggs and melted lard to make a big batch in a hot cast iron skillet (browning the bottom into a yummy crust). Afterward, grind it up and combine it with the melted cheeses for a much more dense and flavorful masa. This was a labor of love on your part and I cannot thank you enough. We’ll all do things the way we learned it but to make it Keto, you’re right...we have to do things a little differently. May God Bless you and your entire family for this wonderful gift you’ve shared with us all! Feliz Navidad! ❤️🙏🎄
First your mom is adorable. Second, it is wonderful you cook with her. Third I am halfway through a 48 hour fast and this is making me so hungry. Finally, how spicy is this as I am a heat wimp.? Thanks so much and happy holidays!
My husband is from a small town in Jalisco Mexico. I know you are from Guadalajara ❤️ My husband and I own a taqueria in Oregon called Guadalajara Taco shop. His grandma lived in Guadalajara when he was growing up, so he has the best memories. Sending Anguiano love ♥️ always!!
I love the sounds of this recipe!! So yummy!! I have a question on the total net carbs and total calories for 1 tamale. Is it 3g net carbs and 362 cal per tamale or is it 4g net carbs and 614cal per tamale? Love your Chanel!!
I really loved watching you make the rojas, but I like the verde (with the chicken). I would like to see you make those if you’re making more tamales. I love all your videos. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you so much I've been wanting to make tamales for so many years and I'm going to be ready to have these for Christmas. God bless you and your mother, you're always right on time I love you so much. Keep up the good work. And when I saw your mother it made me think about my mother because she would be doing exactly what your mother was doing and that's being right by your side supporting you to do a good 24:02 job. Have a wonderful blessed Merry Christmas 🎄😄❤️👍🏽👋🏽🙏🏽😌🙌🏽

Yes tamales de dulce would be perfect!! 💕☺️
Tamales de mole; keto mole! That will be crazy!
Thank you! For over 20 years now my mom, who is the cook in the family, can't have corn or wheat. She always cooks food for everyone, including her amazing tamales and posole but is never able to enjoy her tasty food herself. This year I made a big batch of your tamales for her and she was soooo excited! She loved the recipe, thank you for giving an 80 year old mexican mom her tamales back! :)
Lovely!
I can’t have any wheat, gluten or grains and this channel has been a god sent!
Oh my gosh this is the sweetest thing. I’m so happy she gets to enjoy them again, finally!!
That's AWESOME!!!
Maybe your whole family will find out how healthy a low carb lifestyle is, and you and your Mom can make family dinners keto for everyone. More happy years together that way!
Watching this video is now a Christmas tradition for me
This is a Game Changer! Never thought I'd be able to enjoy tamales again since being on Keto but this changes EVERYTHING! THANK YOU!
Giiiiiiirl, when I tell you that I'm almost crying right now!🤯😍 I NEVER thought I'd be able to have tamales again without feeling sick from the corn or having my momma eat them then suffer with high blood sugar! I'm about to get everything and surprise my family. Their little "We eat more Mexican food than traditional soul food" hearts are about to be blessed! Thank you!!🥰🥰🥰
It is so hard to find anyone willing to make tamales. Now finding a keto option makes me so happy.
Hell, its just hard to find a good tamales!
Me too! love tamales!
Me too! And the posole recipe as well

I like the way you make the dough.
Make sure you are spreading the masa on the smooth side of the ojas (husks). This helps the masa not stick. :)
Yeah I was looking for this comment ;) rough side out ;)

We lost mom in 2010. This video reminded me so much of her! Thank you for sharing! 🥹♥️
My brother and I made these today and regular tamales for his wife kids and suegra. We used the keto meat and sauce for both sets and it all turned out amazing. Thank you for the recipes, we also make a salsa verde for half of them.
I used the tortilla press for my masa.. made it easier
Omg I'm dying to eat this! I LOVE tamales! And my family gathers at my grammas every Christmas Eve for tamales, rice and beans. This year I don't think it's going to happen because of Covid and it's so depressing. This video is great and looks so close to the real thing. It lifted my spirits. Thank you! I will definitely try this recipe soon. My favorite is also rajas con queso! Lastly I love how you say tama-leez, just like me and my fam LOL!
Love the process.. my father was Mex/Spaniard..his mother, my grandmother showed me this as a child!
Cherish/ Amazing/Beautiful
I cook my puerco in the crockpot, it comes out perfectly. Sure it take a long time, but there's nothing like that smell! You can start it at night and by next morning it will be done!
My favorite tamales are green corn. So sweet and delicious.
Turned out great! Thx for the recipe! Is it one or 3 net carbs- the description lists both. Hoping for 1!
Tried this recipe. Taste and texture is darn almost identical! Equally delicious! Some tips: 1) I used the water from canned corn, with half the kernels to steam the tamales (and added water of course).. This added corn flavor and probably catbs, but I justify this that these are still probably significantly less carbs that the real deal.
2) The cheese adds a lot of salt. If I were to do this again I would add the chicken buoillion only and incrementally add the remaining salt and perhaps omit the salt altogether.
3)I used melted butter to spread on the corn husks instead of lard. If I were to do this again, I’d use unsalted butter. This added a bit more salt than I would’ve liked but worked great and added a nice flavor.
Thank you sooo much for this recipe! This is officially my most favorite keto dupe recipe! Sooooo so good! I don’t even think there’s much of a difference.
Que delicia, hasta la baba de me cayó amiga, gracias por compartir. Definitivamente los haré para el 24 .
Thank You Thank You!!
My husband makes tamales a lot but I can’t eat them and lose weight on KETO-NOW I CAN!!
Omg!!!! Yasssss!! Been craving for some tamales!! But didnt want to make the regular version. And BAAAAMM!! YOU POST THIS!! Awsome! Thank you!!!
Haha, it's like I read your mind!! 🥳
Made these today and it was a hit for the hubby. Thank you
OMG! My absolute favorite food 😋💯💕❤️💓and a KETO version? Just absolutely WOW!!!!!
I'm honestly so excited for this one! I can't wait for you to make it!
@@LowCarbLove thank you for sharing your family recipe. Ever since the fast food places brought out tamales, I searched for a KETO version. The ones that are brought back in those fast food places are extremely salty. But I eat them anyways just for a fix. But not satisfied in the end. I will be getting the ingredients and I'll let you know just how much yumminess it is 🤗🤗🤗. Again, thank you so much. Your family is blessed to have you and your mom make this. Marry Christmas 💯❤️💓🌲🎄💖🎀
So intriguing!! A fat head dough to sub for masa!!
My friends with families are making tamales today!!
The details about the steaming process really helps. Thanks for your Mama’s family recipe! Thanks a million!. KETO!
All I can say is girl you did that 👏👏❤ I found your pizza crust recipe on Instagram and then I found your tamale one after that. I am officially a new subscriber. You make the best keto recipes absolutely off top. Thank you and keep making videos please.
Oh! This makes me miss my sweet neighbor Ana who made the best tamales. It would take 2 days. This was so well done & I just may do this on a cold winter day. The sauce alone would be worth making!
Yes PLEASE make some spicy ones, with beef or chicken, with cheese 😋
Oh, my gosh! I know this is an older video, but it just showed up in my feed. I thught I'd never be able to have tamales again, because of the carbs. I can't wait to try these! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤
You are so generous for sharing this. I can't wait to make and taste your precious mama's tamales. Thank you to both of you and Merry Christmas!!!
Hola te acabo de conoser i me encanta k ables español muy buena persona. Muchas grasias por aser esas ricuras para nosotros saludos para toda tu familia k salga mas seguido tu mama en los videos k hermosa familia k dios los bendiga siempre
You are such an awesome inspiration. I have binged watched so many of your videos. I'm going to start my journey on January 1, 21. I have looked for someone to follow and you are that person. Thank you so much for your recipes and words of encouragement. You truly are awesome. 💜
You tell mama thank you it is so difficult to do keto especially when you love things like Hispanic cooking and you don’t know how to convert thing so thank you ever so much for doing this for us love you too
So eager to try this out! I haven't been able to eat, much less cook, tamales for the past 20 years because of a corn sensitivity. Had been wanting to try our family's traditional pork filling with a masa typical of Puerto Rican pasteles, but then I went keto. Now, I have renewed hope! Still not sure I'll risk a reaction to the corn husk, but there's always the southern Mexican tamale on banana leaves! Muchisimas gracias! 🥰
I have been making tamales by myself for the last 15 years. This masa recipe is the truth!!!!
Omgggggg finally!!! The day is finally here!! I remember you recipe testing last year and then i couldn't find the recipe! But now my prayers have been answered!! Thanks Mayra!! 😘😘
La mejor receta de tamales keto que e visto asta ahora👀 me tienes babeando de antojo amiga 😋🤤 pero no me quedaré con el antojo los are pronto😊👍
Justo a tiempo para la cena de navidad, thnks 😉
Listened to this one year ago- got too give it a try.
I have been collecting the chilies (I don’t know if I found all of the chilies)and the corn husks!
I presently live in Alaska, I’m Southern California born and raised, lived in Costa Mesa, my brother even lived in Downey.
Thanks a gazillion!
🖤 I've been requesting this for ever, and is finally here! GRACIAS 🙂
Made it for dinner... my almond flour was darker... took awhile to melt the cheese - the taste was amazing. I would totally do this again!
Oh my God, I was literally just thinking about whether or not you could make tamales keto. You made my day. How well do you think these would freeze.
I want to know how they freeze as well
@@TheTerrasierra No problem freezing after fully steamed. I wrap tight in foil. Will last about 6 months in freeze.
Wow, these look amazing! Nice to see your mom, she is so sweet and beautiful!
Luv your mom. Tanks for being on camera mama
Thanks
Will do keto tamales this year. My diabetes is getting out of control so I need this recipe!!! Thanks so much!!!
I’m definitely making these this weekend and then again for Christmas!!! My birthday is the 23rd of December so that’ll be my excuse for making them twice!!! 😂
OMG 😱 Can’t believe you figured out how to do it. Thank you!!!!!!!! You’re the best. My Hispanic hubby is going to be so excited
Your Momma is a Beautiful Woman 😘
You are a beautiful presenter and food chef/cook. The choice of food "Tamales" is a staple of the Mexican culture and I am sure there are many eyes watching your every move. This Keto Tamale dish is by all standards delicious. Than being said, thank you for the show and the recipe. PS, so lucky to have the "Master" chef/cook beside you.
What is in the bottle on the tray with the masa spices? Looks like it says “Corn Bread” flavoring. I was thinking of adding some Amoretti Sweet Corn extract because that’s what I use to make my keto cornbread.
I want to know the same exact thing! Idk why she would leave that out! But Im going to put corn extract I'm sure its a game changer! I'll try with and without lets see which I like best! 😊
Hmm.. I was going to suggest she use it but if she did then I need to order some
I am so glad I found this video. I am a tamale junky and thought I will never be able to have them again since having weight loss surgery and starting a keto life style. I can not wait to make these. Thank you for sharing
Dang been dreaming about having Tamales!!! Merry Christmas thank you for sharing! Needed this recipe... good work chica 👍
Awwww your mom was there how sweet!!!! Love this recipe thank you for sharing 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yum! Can you show a chicken with regular Mesa?! Thank you!
Yes I can! I will work on it this week so it can be ready for the start of the New Year!
Thank you so much for answering an unspoken prayer. I was just discussing this very topic in a recent conversation regarding traditional family recipes that are linked with the celebration of our Savior’s birth. The “many hands” makes for quick work. I recalled the aromas of my Tia Eva’s kitchen in Corpus Christi, Texas when my father took us down there for a family reunion. I have Barrera, Trevino and Dominguez in my bloodline when my grandmother fell in love with a tall, angular, ivory-skinned Irish man fresh off the boat. They had sixteen (16) children. My father had many, many stories but his favorite were of helping his mother in the kitchen. When I was watching you, I was thinking you are so lovely to do this for all of us out here wishing we could enjoy the foods of our memories but avoid the issues of diet-related illnesses such as T2 Diabetes, cancer, heart disease and more. Muchos Gracias, my dear!
You asked for suggestions, so here are mine:
1.) Cube the pork shoulder while the salted bone roasts in your 500 degree Fahrenheit oven for 25 minutes
2.) Season with salt before pan-searing the cubes of pork shoulder, fat-side down to render out the fat and crisp the exterior. The Maillard Reaction of the caramelizing fat and meat will give an intense flavor to the puerco.
3.) Toast the dried chilis in a dry skillet over medium heat to release the oils and deepen their flavor.
4.) Place the golden brown pork bone and the chunks of seared pork in your pressure cooker with the pan jus.
5.) Pan Jus: Use the drippings from the pan-seared pork to sauté the onion and garlic before deglazing the fond in the skillet with warm water.
6.) The cooking time will be MUCH shorter since it’s in much smaller pieces.
7.) Remove the chunks of soft pork to a bowl before adding the toasted chilis in the resultant broth in the cooker before blending with a stick blender. Taste for seasoning (add your cumin, salt and pepper at that time).
8.) Pour over your pork and stir to quickly shred the meat into the sauce.
I love the fact that you used fathead dough as your masa. I had been watching that pan of cornbread on your stove thinking you’d use it to become the basis of your masa as that’s what I plan to do. I use a 50/50 portion of CarbQuik and almond flour with baking powder, corn extract (Amoretti’s), salt, eggs and melted lard to make a big batch in a hot cast iron skillet (browning the bottom into a yummy crust).
Afterward, grind it up and combine it with the melted cheeses for a much more dense and flavorful masa.
This was a labor of love on your part and I cannot thank you enough. We’ll all do things the way we learned it but to make it Keto, you’re right...we have to do things a little differently.
May God Bless you and your entire family for this wonderful gift you’ve shared with us all! Feliz Navidad! ❤️🙏🎄
First your mom is adorable. Second, it is wonderful you cook with her. Third I am halfway through a 48 hour fast and this is making me so hungry. Finally, how spicy is this as I am a heat wimp.? Thanks so much and happy holidays!
My husband is from a small town in Jalisco Mexico. I know you are from Guadalajara ❤️ My husband and I own a taqueria in Oregon called Guadalajara Taco shop. His grandma lived in Guadalajara when he was growing up, so he has the best memories. Sending Anguiano love ♥️ always!!
I love the sounds of this recipe!! So yummy!! I have a question on the total net carbs and total calories for 1 tamale. Is it 3g net carbs and 362 cal per tamale or is it 4g net carbs and 614cal per tamale? Love your Chanel!!
Impressive! They look amazing. Special request - can you give it a shot at making Colombian Arepas? 🙏🏼
What are the instructions for the instant pot? What’s the setting you set it to and for how much time?
Omg! I loooove this video. Looove your mom watching over you, making sure you don’t mess up! Lol. You guys are sooo cute! ☺️
Omg, this is everything I’ve dreamed of lol! -Em
Haha you're so sweet 😊I can't wait for you both to make it!
Estos tamales se ven deliciosos... voy a intentar hacer tamales panameños con tu “keto masa”. Thank you so much
I really loved watching you make the rojas, but I like the verde (with the chicken). I would like to see you make those if you’re making more tamales. I love all your videos. Thanks so much for sharing.
I second that request.
Thank you so much I've been wanting to make tamales for so many years and I'm going to be ready to have these for Christmas. God bless you and your mother, you're always right on time I love you so much. Keep up the good work. And when I saw your mother it made me think about my mother because she would be doing exactly what your mother was doing and that's being right by your side supporting you to do a good 24:02 job. Have a wonderful blessed Merry Christmas 🎄😄❤️👍🏽👋🏽🙏🏽😌🙌🏽
oh my gosh, you're making my dreams come truuuuue!!!!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I love tamales and now I can have them keto yay! Thank you
