- I am sharing the way I started making tamales, when I was a kid I hated making tamales it was so much work making the masa and spreading the masa into the corn husk , but know I am going to share with you an easy way is not even funny. Now I love making tamales is so easy and so fast. Here is the recipe for the masa but I also have 2 more tutorials to show you how to make a chicken with green sauce filling and a rajas with cheese filling they are here in my channel.
MASA FOR TAMALES THE EASY WAY
1 Kg or (1,000) grams of maseca for tamales
8 cups of chicken broth ( it needs to be very hot)
2 cups of oil regular cooking oil you can also use vegetable shortening or lard / make sure you melt the shortening or the lard before you use it
3 tsp of baking powder this will help the masa for the tamales be more fluffy
corn husk they need to be soak in hot water for 25-30 mins. you want them to be nice and soft before you use them
Kitchen aid mixer but not necessary
**** I really don’t use salt I use the know suiza chicken broth (powder) to give all my food dishes flavor but you can use the salt if you prefer

Yes its a easy way
But does this masa TASTE GOOD
@@cookingwithconchita9657 i heard to use chicken broth instead of water
@@doratiscareno5856 yes is better! for example if you are making chicken tamales use the chicken broth from the chicken and if you are making beef use the beef broth from the meat
@@doratiscareno5856 yes is good , If your chicken broth tastes good the masa is going to taste good to. Give your chicken some flavor. when you boil the chicken remember you are using the chicken broth for the masa 👍🏼😉
I made Tamales yesterday with this recipe! Thank you so much my family lovedddd them! It was my first time 😊 I'm from San Antonio and thought it was time to make these for myself.
Mrs. Major I am so glad your family loved them! I love this recipe too because they are so easy and so fast to make ;) Thank you so much for sharing your experience
How moist was the masa?
Finally a recipe with no LARD! Some of my family members can't have lard, very bad. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe!
You can use crisco and a little healthier than that lard maybe to keep authentic taste and from being dry tamale chokers
I love this! Yes, it was long, but you're right in needing to show every step. Your voice isn't annoying and you get right to the point, so it made it easier to watch. Thank you!!
Thank you so much Loretta Duarte , I am so happy you liked the recipe ;)
I love your way of making them!! You just don't know... all this time I've been doing that crazy drop test! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! You're amazing.
Thank you 🙏🏼 I know how you feel I hated making tamales before because of the whole process when preparing the masa. But know I love making them 😉👍🏼
Thank you. I started making tamales two years ago. I have always used the already made one because I never knew which Masa to use so I will be trying your way next time I make them
Girl,, I've used your recipe several times now!! IT IS THE BEST OUT THERE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you so much for your feedback 😉👍🏼
Wow.. I love the non traditional way👍
I love this recipe! I make it every year now to continue my family tradition. They are a hit every year! ❤️😁🙌
Made them for the very first time from scratch. And my family loved them, all thanks to you, thank you ^^
I am so glad they liked them 👍🏼
Thank you. I was looking for a way to make it without lard. This will be my first time and I really didn't want to have to go out tonight to grab the lard.
Thank you SO much for making this video! Like you, I always bought tamales because I thought they were hard to make, BUT THEY'RE NOT! Just made my first batch and they came out GREAT! Thanks again! 😁😁😁
Yes it is so easy now I m glad you like them. Thank you so much for your feedback ;)
Thank you my grandma makes them with oil I ask her for a recipe but she’s does everything by hand and I’m a 3 hour drive from here so I’ll have to watch your videos until I see her
Thank you, I needed to remember how to mix it, and your video is a perfect reminder for me on how to do it correctly.
Will be making some this Christmas for my family.😸🐾🐾🐾🐾💕
Looks bso good 😋
I made this and it was really good. Thank you!
You are welcome 👍🏼
Thank you so much for making this video. I have never made tamales before but you make it seem so easy. I have always been scared because of how much work it is. I will be making some next Monday for Christmas.
You are welcome, this is my favorite way for making them. I really don't like the traditional way
Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Excelente tutorial , gracias
Can't wait to do this recipe today!
This reminds me of my abuelita recipe except she used lard I'm trying to lower my cholesterol
Unfortunately oil is bad too :/
Thank you mines came out very nice even on my first try also 😁😁😁
nice ;)
Thanks for sharing
You are welcome
I am making this now for the first time. The masa I bought was sour tasting so I searched for a masa recipe & this is the recipe that caught my attention the most. I will be back to let you know what I think Thank you for this tutorial I am now a subscriber. Very easy to follow. =)
Thank you and welcome! Yes please come back and let me know 👍🏼 this Thursday I will be making by tamales too a d if you want a sweet recipe I have a SUPER easy pineapple recipe here in. Y channel too 😉
I tried the old way testing the dough in the glass of water to see if they float. OMG there had to be a better way. God bless you!
Nice and simple, thanks. It's what I've been missing.
You are welcome 🙏🏼😉
Omg!!! It is too easy!!! I know you said that but I can’t believe it. Delicious!!!!! I made tamales with just masa because I wanted to see if the kids like the masa by itself. Delicious! Now I will put chicken with salsa verde and bean tamales. Thank you so much and God bless you abundantly!!!!!
I am glad you liked them, God bless you too 🙏🏼
I have used this recipe a couple of times! Delicious and EASY!!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Wawo I’m so happy to find tamales with no lard. Thank u!!
Thank you so much. Whenever you ask someone about making tamales they tell you it is a lot of work. I made cheese and pepper tamales in no time flat. I used the same Maseca you used and Manteca lard melted in the microwave. They came out perfect your instructions were perfect and I hand mixed mine. Will be looking for more of your videos.
I am so happy you liked this method, to me is the best and is so easy. Thank you so much for your feedback 🙏🏼
Yes it was so easy thank you so much for posting this. So happy I found the recipe.
Thanks, Conchita for this really easy to understand video.
Great recipe! Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My tamales turned out AMAZING, thanks!
awesome!! thank you so much for letting me know ;)
Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for the recipe. I sure appriciate this. Ima make tamales for the first time. RUclips is a life saver for this chic. I have learned to homemake even soap since I moved to the boonies.
Beeyond Blessed Organics...LOL!!! I make soap too & organic gardening all my life....Do you do bee keeping?!! 🐝 🐝 Bees are awesome!
@@bobbijo6818 hey thats awesome. Bee keeping would be awseome job now that hemp is legal. Im sure considering it. God sure sending me the road Im just following like Im supposed to. Helping others living more organically is my passion.
I’m so glad I found this!! Easy tutorial I will be following it tomorrow wish me luck 🤞 first time making tamales 😬
Me too Good luck
Thank you for your recipe. I use my kitchen aid mixer for everything because I have bad wrists and cannot knead anymore 😔. Also, I cannot use lard and needed a recipe used with vegetable shortening. This video helped so much.
I am so glad I was able to help 😉👍🏼
My masa turned out perfect, thanks!
Awesome 👏 👏 👏 I am glad ! 😉👍🏼
Thank you, you gave me confidence to try
Thanks very informative 😁☮️
Thank you for the recipe, I made it today and my family loved it! I can’t have lard and it was nice to be able to eat these tamales without having stomach problems. Keep the recipes coming!!
I am glad you and your family liked them👍🏼😉
@@cookingwithconchita9657 can u please send me the receipt please where fan of ur channlw
@@castroadrian Thank you, you can always find the recipes under the description box below the videos.
MASA FOR TAMALES THE EASY WAY
1 Kg or (1,000) grams of maseca for tamales
8 cups of chicken broth ( it needs to be very hot)
2 cups of oil regular cooking oil you can also use vegetable shortening or lard / make sure you melt the shortening or the lard before you use it
3 tsp of baking powder this will help the masa for the tamales be more fluffy
corn husk they need to be soak in hot water for 25-30 mins. you want them to be nice and soft before you use them
Kitchen aid mixer but not necessary
**** I really don’t use salt I use the know suiza chicken broth (powder) to give all my food dishes flavor but you can use the salt if you prefer
I will make this! I bought pre made masa and it cost 3x more than making it from scratch. Thank you!
Yes, pre-made masa is more $$ and sometimes you don’t have control of what goes into the masa
I need that mixer
I really love this recipe and the very first time I made tamales it came out perfect. But now, its been 3 more attempts and my masa doesn’t cook fully. I don’t know what I am doing wrong, I have followed you recipe precisely and have even tried putting less and more of the chicken broth thinking maybe I put too much liquid but I’m still having the same problem. I’m hoping maybe you might have some insight as to what I might be doing wrong
It's ok just cook them a little longer and let them rest when they are done for 20 mins or so
Thank you so much for making this video!
👍🏼😉
Thank you I made it....you rock
Do you put the whole bag of maseca in the mixer at the beginning? when you say you can use lard, do you melt two cups of lard and use instead of the oil? How long do you let the masa sit after you prepare it and before you assemble the tamales?
Yes for this recipe I added the whole bag. And yes if you want to use lard make sure you melted first. The amount of lard is the same as the oil. I let the masa rest for 15-20 mins and make sure is cover with a kitchen towel 😉👍🏼
I’m going to make them in two days. Thank you!!!
Don’t forget the sweet tamales! I also have a recipe for pineapple tamales and is very easy too 😉👍🏼
Cooking With Conchita Great idea for my kids to enjoy. Thank you. Now my neighbor is going to make them with me too. We will learn with you together. God bless you!!!
Thanks! Great video!
Hi, thank you for sharing! I’m hoping to make tamales soon. I’ve never made them on my own from start to finish.
Does the masa come out moist using this technique?
Do you ever test the masa by dropping in some in a glass of water? If it floats, that means it’s ready. I’ve seen this done in other videos.
Thank you!!
M GM yes they do , they taste really good with this masa. You can also make tamales with beef, chicken and also rajas con queso . Check out the chicken recipe and the rajas con queso here in my channel
Muchisimas Gracias Senora!!
I bought Tamil masa para tamales and we will be having them soon.
Thank you very much my Conchita, I really like how you taught us how to make it in an easy way. You are awsome and so sweet💝🌸🌺🌸
I will make tamales soon and give them your name😊
Aw thank you so much 😉 for your kind words !
You are very welcome my dear🙏🌷🌻
This was very helpful. This is my first attempt at tamales
Hello, I am sure they are going to be delicious ;)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Very helpful.
Thank you for showing us this. Also, you probably already know, but the camera angle was too low and it's hard to see all of what you're doing clearly. Still, enough was there to get the basic idea. Thanks, too, for having the written recipe in the description. 👍🏻
Thank you, yes this was one of my first videos and I did not have enough space for my camera 🙁
@@cookingwithconchita9657 well, I think you made it work okay, all the same. You got to start somewhere, right? I think you have improved greatly and all of your videos are very helpful and relatable. I like these types of videos, because it's like hanging out with a friend in the kitchen making good food. 😁
Im about to make some today...i see all the good comments you've gotten...good job ms. Lady
Thanks 😉
I will try and his new masa recipe, I just need to find the Maseca for tamale, I had never seen it before in the Mexican markets like Vallarta and even winco here in Bakersfield, Ca, may I ask where do you get it?
Hello, I buy it at food 4 less, wal-mart, smart and final, target, or even on line
I really want to make this! Looks easy!
It is so easy, I did not like making tamales until now that I learned how to make them this way. ;)
This is such a pleasant breath of fresh air. Trust me, I've tried tamales from SO MANY different restaurants, so I'm pretty sure I can safely say that most of them most likely DO NOT use enough broth or manteca (pork lard) in their masa, so the result is a very dry, crumbly (NOT a good trait to have for masa!), bland and tasteless masa. In my opinion, masa should be just as flavorful as the meat/vevetable filling itself.
I don't know if the dry masa is actually the way Mexicans like their tamales, if it is in fact a huge oversight by the restaurant. I'm willing to bet it's the latter. I'm sure no one likes to eat chalk.
I just had some homemade tamales the other day that were made by my friend's mom, and i swear by the tamale gods, it was LITERALLY THE BEST TAMALE I'VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!
THE MASA WAS SO MOIST, PERFECT CONSISTENCY LIKE A STEAMED BUN, AND HAD SO MUCH, IF NOT MORE PORK FLAVOR THAN THE ACTUAL LITERAL PORK INSIDE! I was so pleased with it, I ended up eating ALL the masa by itself before I actually ate the pork. It was THAT GOOD.
Also, another thing that i think helped with the overall flavor, was that the tamale had a small slice of COOKED POTATO, to enhance the moisture even more.
P.S., Is it ok if I add a little bit MORE broth to the masa than you did? It's very important to me that the masa has a lot of meat flavor too, so i can enjoy the ENTIRE TAMALE, and not just the meat filling. In case you didn't figure it out, I'm a hardcore meatlover to the soul, lol.
:) of course you can the more flavor you give to your meat the better for your tamales. Your friend's mom used pork lard to make the masa. This is another way of making the masa you have to mix the lard until nice and fluffy and then you start adding the maza and the broth (chicken, beef or pork) you mix all together until you get a nice spreadable consistency. I think some restaurants make their tamales like that because they are trying to save money on their ingredients :( and that is not a good thing because they won't keep their customers. I like my tamales with a lot of meat and less masa. But I know a lot of people that make tamales without meat. The good thing about making homemade tamales is that you can make them with lots of meat :)
You can definitely add more broth, my masa comes out wetter than this video. Your friend's mom probably used the broth from the cooked pork. Along with lard, it gives the masa an incredible flavor. I've experimented with using water, store bought broth, a combination, etc. ..always use the broth you cooked your meat in for maximum flavor. ETA, I am a hardcore carnivore too! 😁
After making masa does the masa need to rest before using? If so, how long? Thanks!
Like 10 minutes
Thank you so much. My husband is from Mexico and we tried so many times they just aren't as good as his momma's recipe. I hate the corn husk I aiak them in hot water n they are so small. Can I use foil in place of the corn husk. I see elsalvadoren people do it.
Yes you can use foil, parchment paper and green banana leaf
Thanks 👌
Hello! I’m wondering if you know about how many tamales you can make with a whole bag? (I think you use the whole bag right?) Like your recipe says, could I cut the recipe in half if I need to make a small batch? Hope to hear back soon! 😘
It depends what size you make them, I made like 50 and that’s because I like to add a little masa a d. Ore meat 😁and yes you can make 1/2 of the bag. For a 1/2 lb of maze a is 3-1/2 cups and last week I made that amount of sweet tamales and I got like 45 but they are smaller 👍🏼😉
Very helpful for when not using a full bag of Tamal corn flour. 🥰Do you have a video for measurements using the full bag of Tamal corn flour? Close to 5 lbs. Thank you. 🌹
This recipe is for 1K and the next size is a 4.4 lb equal to 2K, You just double the recipe
.
I like your channel Definitely subscribing..you go girl
Thank you 🙏🏼 and welcome 😉👍🏼
Thankyou. So much im used you technique for my tamales their steaming now !! Keep up the good work it helps us out
Hey just wanted to ask that can I use veggie stock since i'm a vegetarian?...
Yes you can 👍🏼
Can I use baking soda instead??
Is the recipe the same if you just use the regular maseca? My grandma passed away last Monday and she used to be the one to make the masa or we would buy it from the store in California. I moved to Illinois and I want to try and make it by myself for the first time this year.
I am so sorry about your grandma ma she rest in peace. Good question you mean the masa that is ready to mix with the rest of the ingredients? I haven't done the recipe that way. I am sorry bur you are giving me an idea. I need to try making them with that maseca
Oh ok! I just can’t find the tamale maseca here in Illinois all I’ve been able to find is regular maseca. I’ll try it out and see how it comes out. Thank you for hour response!
@@candi4766 I am sorry I think I misunderstood when you said regular maseca I was thinking the dough that is made and you have to add more stuff to it but yes you can use the regular maseca the one that has no picture of tamales on front. Thats perfectly fine
Masa for Tamales...is that Greek Tango music in the background?
Spanish music
I use lard not oil, put broth from pork you have left over :•)
Perfect! I have another recipe using lard and pork broth and is mixed in a different way ;)
Nice and thank u
I know that this is a masa making video, but I LOVE masa. I can only get tamales like, once a year, which SUCKS. But when I get old enough to buy things make stuff without my mom killing me, is there anyway you can make a masa tamale? Just masa? I like it either way, but plain masa is great. I love natural flavors. Sorry for overexplaining. I do that
hahaha don't worry I like to over explain myself. ;) you can buy masa from the store that is already made. This is the only way that I make my tamales because I use oil and not lard. I do have another recipe but is using lard.
@@cookingwithconchita9657 ok. Thank you so much
How long does it last in the refrigerator and how many tamales does it make ?? Great video 😀😋
The amount of tamales depends on the size you make them . I made around 40-50
Ive made tamales 3 maybe 4 times, and have always bought my masa pre-made. I mix reg masa and pineapple masa together, (using a less pineapple then I do reg masa) anyway, I also make some without the pineapple masa, but the ones with the pineapple masa mix always go SO fast, I can never make enough. ANYWAY, my point being, Is, im going to try making the masa using your recipe, but want pineapple the flavor. Should i just add the juice from a can of crushed pineapples (in its own juice, not sweetened) in place of some of the other liquid, and perhaps just a little bit of the crushed pineapples...
If I want to add a chili sauce to your masa recipe would I just adjust the amount of broth I add so as not to make it too watery?
Yea omit 2 cups of chicken broth and add a cup of chili sauce if it's not right consistency then add another cup of broth
Yes you can, you can add the amount of chili sauce and then add the broth.
Was hoping the start to finish tutorial
I dived the videos because They are so long. And the new ones are shorter. I might make one with all the step’s together 😉👍🏼
Thank you sis
I have 1.8 so 4 lb do I just double everything
If I have some left over Masa,how can It be store for something else or make more tamales later?
I wouldn’t save it for more then 3 days
What is the name is this song? My daughter loves it from the dancing fruit video
(Baila mi cumbia)👍🏼
Puedo usar mitad margarina y mitad aceite ?
Hola, nunca lo e tratado pero me imagino qué si 😉👍🏼
HI Conchita!
Is it ok, do you think, to use a mixture of lard and oil? Or any mixture of oils, as long as the amount comes out correct?
Thank you! Dios te bediga...
I am very excited to use this recipe! Thank you for sharing it with all of us!
I am making this recipe now, using the amounts that you have in the recipe, and my masa is coming out way too runny. Not enough Maseca, or too much oil, I'm not sure??
Four cups of Maseca and 2 of oil, right?
@@tonyhaltmar5982 Hello Tony, I used 1 kilo total of maseca if you are using the measuring cups that come in a set 1 cup, 1/2 cup 1/3 cup & 1/4 cup the total of maseca is 8 cups and 2 cups of oil and yes you can mix lard but I recommend for you to liquify the lard first using the microwave or the stovetop . This way you can have the 2 cups of fat that you need. The reason why is because if you use the lard alone you need to cream the lard first to make the masa. (is a process that takes longer) Now when you add the liquid start adding the liquid little by little because you might not need all the liquid that I used or you might need a little more or less. The altitude where you live my change the amount of liquid that you are going to use. I hope I am not confusing you but if you need more help please let me know! ;) blessings to you too
Cooking With Conchita Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me, in such detail. I’m making some more tamales tomorrow, and will follow your instructions! Dios te bendice...
How do I make tamales without the corn husks? It’s very hard to get a hold of them here in the UK :(
Hello, you can also use foil paper ;)
Cooking With Conchita ....i wonder if parchment paper would work?
Thank you
Conchita, what changes in making the masa for sweet tamales would you make? Thank you!

Ahhh, so adding baking powder will help puff up this dough. I tried making puffy tacos, but I used the same bag you prefer, the one with tamales on it. It didn't puff up. I also rolled the dough, as I don't have a tortilla press.
I can't wait to try this recipe. I just found it on a Google search for the Maseca I used.
Yes it will help pull the tamales, and about the tacos you mean puff up the tortillas ?
@@cookingwithconchita9657 yes, puff up the tortillas. :)
I'm so glad I watched your video.
@@katdunn7934 yes you can add some baking powder but not much ;)
@@cookingwithconchita9657 thank you! 😊
How long do you have to mix per say? My masa never floats in a cup of water and I was told I'm not mixing long enough
Well this is the reason why I make tamales know, before I did not like to make them because I hated doing the mixing by hand and doing the water test 😁using this method is a lot easier and you don’t do the water test.
@@cookingwithconchita9657 After so many fails I finally got it!! I cannot thank you enough!
I just tried this for my tamales and they are staying really mushy even after cooking for 2 hours. Help! I think maybe the mix was too wet. Any advice? Should I keep cooking the tamales or give up?
If you are using the pot make sure you cover them using extra corn husks on top if you got extras and if you don’t use a kitchen towel you don’t want any steam to get out. After the time you let them cook let the rest for at least 20 mins ands is normal if they are a little mushy they will become firm. If you are using the IP cook them for 45 mins and let them rest for 10 . I hope this helps you 👍🏼😉
@@cookingwithconchita9657 a couple of them ended up being fine and they were amazing! I’ll try the towel when I make more today. Thank you!!!!
@@margaretrangel7223 Nice, I am glad it worked out. Stay tuned for my pineapple sweet tamales recipe coming soon. 😉

Amarillo is the brand? If you can make corn tortillas you can use it too. I just prefer the brand I a. Using

Question., did you use the whole bag of maseca? Because my bag is more than 1kg as shown in your description box recipe
So if its double, should I double the oil, bp and broth?

Hello, what was your measurements to make the chicken broth when using the chicken powder?
When I make the chicken broth I start by adding 1 Tbs and then si go from there, you add more if you need it. Add 1-2 Tbs to 8 cups of water.
@@cookingwithconchita9657 oh okay. I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you.
Saw Tamales in 'Once upon a Time Hollywood'
How many cups of Maseca would this be?
Mrs. Major hello is like 8 or 9 cups :)
What kind of oil do you use
I use vegetable oil, corn, and canola (MAZOLA ) brand and I also use melted pork lard
Can you use the pork broth instead of chicken broth?
Amy Dethoudom sure you can use pork broth or beef too.
