Thanks so much for sharing your procedure and recipe. I have always wanted to try and make them, but I didn't have a clue on where or how to start. I am going to make them with my Aunt this weekend.
I just made these tamales with your ingredients suggested and they are the best ones I have tasted. I just beat my Mom's tamales, when I thought I couldn't! Thank you so much for doing this video! They are not spicy at all but anyone can add red pepper flakes to the meat mixture while simmering the meat. See what else I did on the next post.
Is it pronouced "Toe-mall-yas" or "Ta-Malles"? I always pronouced it the later, but I was corrected by someone who felt that I needed to pronounce it correctly....sheesh..EXCUSE ME!!
I watched this video last year at Christmas time, it really helped to make my tamales. I watched it again today, since I am making tamales again this year. Your kids are a nice touch to the video!
Wow, it looks easy to make. This year I plan of doing Tamales for Christmas and I hope they come out good and delicious. This will be my first time ever to do Tamales. Nice Video very helpful.
I have just gotten into tamales would you believe? No more wheat for me so I've been experimenting and I agree with the movie about the Masa, (sp?) Yummmmm! Thank you for sharing your home and your children with us. - kimberly
This video was so informative! Also, the whole family chipping in and doing his/her part makes the experience that much more sentimental; to be cherished. (I think if all families made tamales like you guys, the world would be a much happier place). Thanks so much for sharing!
NO WONDER!!!.....i was wondering why my wife was running back and fourth, from the kitchen to the laptop. I got on the lap top to see what the hell is she so serious about, and came to find out she's watching this while making tamales!!!!......WEIRD I TELL YOU!...I'ma go and laugh at her...ahahahah.
i'm watching this while eating a tamale.. the kind from the store that you heat up in the microwave. /; I really want to learn how to make some! Maybe one day mom and I can get together and have our own little fiesta. :)
The girl is adorable - I love her Spanglish! This process looked LOOOONG and PAINFUULLL!!! I live in Jalisco (currently), and I can whip up a batch of these things including cooking in 2 hours flat! First, use a portable hand mixer for the masa. I also have the masa as if thick cake batter, not putty. The tamals (tamal is the singular) will be lighter. I steam them for about an hour (1 in thick). Great vid, just sharing! :)
Im going to be making my first tamales,and after searchiing, i finally found one that i can make and will keep you updated on the outcome of my tamales!...Gracias!
WOW, i heard making tamales was a pain in the butt, this video makes it look so easy. Great narration and truly authentic style tamales I must say, I would love to taste one of them!
huh.....I thought I was the only one who used a plate to cover the blender, whenever I couldn't find the lid ... ^.^ ha ha ha ha :)....very cute little girl and hmmm, they looked delicious...!!! :)
thank you very mutch will watch this video agin . we have a Mexican butcher shop in our naborhood i have been going there for a while. the best food on the planet
So darling the little girls are! Fantastic video, too - thanks for helping me make mine for the first time Madeline and Carmen. Your daddy did a great job to save this part of your family history for you both - Feliz Navidad from Oklahoma and THANK YOU
What an awesome video! You guys did a great job and such a true portrait of what's involved in the process of making tamales...it's a lot of work, but so much fun and a great family activity! :) Thanks for posting!
Adorable! Almost exactly the way we make them in my family. But we also wrap them in white deli paper so that the masa doesn't drip out. It's a family tradition in my family, all the women and girls get together for tamale making day. We also make the cheese and green chile (my personal favorite)..Yummy!!
i FOLLOWED YOUR DIRECTIONS AND MY TAMALES CAME OUT VERY GOOD. THANK YOU CARMEN, YOU DID A VERY NICE JOB EXPLAINING. YOU ARE VERY SMART LITTLE GIRL. THANK YOU

I am so hungry for a tamal. Getting the family ready for tamales and they are all going to help. This is exactly how my mom gathered us to make our Christmas tamales.
i just wanted to say that i love yur movie. my mother made tamales exactly like yours. I started crying half way through because my mother died a few years back and watching your children make tamales with you brought back so many memories for me. I love christmas.
@isareycal sorry to hear about your mother..But im sure she is looking down from heaven and is very proud to say that you are her Son/Daughter..i am waiting for my tamales to finish.hopefully it came out good,have a blessed day :)
Hi, I noticed right away you must be from Racine Wi where I lived most of my life!! Hi old neighbor! I will try your recipe, but would prefer to make "fatter" tamales. Could you comment on that please?
you're kidding me! i was watching the vid, thinking of how nice it was when i saw....racine! didn't see that coming...thanks for the video, from milwaukee.
My friend & I attempted to make tamales for the first time and they actually turned out okay, but this recipe...oh my goodness looks awesome! I'm going to save this to my favorites so when we attempt to make them again we will for sure use this recipe. Those tamales sure do look so good!!! Thank you for posting this video. :-)
que linda la nina. Great narrator! reminds me of making Dominican pasteles en hoja de platano and pastelitos for the holidays. Great times and the kids in the kitchen is great as they learn and have fun. Helped me learn to make tamales. now to find that pot! lol
@ 4:31 what is the stuff in the white bowl? please let me know. I want to make these for my mother-in-law And i dont want to mess them up... I was taking notes during your video..LOL please get back to me.
I love this video!! Our local International Realtor Association held a luncheon featuring Mexican dishes for the holidays. I volunteered to make tamales, though I had heard they were difficult and time consuming. I reasearched the web and this was my favorite learning tool. They were a big hit at the party.
Beutiful video...great actressces..yo soy de Monterrey..pero mi familia es de Veracruz y siempre COMPRO los tamales X QUE ES UN ARTE...la unica vez que hice tamales...fueron para tamales e elote..pero fue un desastre!!! no supe como envolverlos..la masa me quedo "aguada"...pero bueno..ya aprenderé...LOS FELICITO..POR EL VIDEO.. Y POR SEGUIR LA TRADICION DE LA COMIDA MEXICANA tan basta..tan deliciosa!!!
Thanks for the video! I just started making tamales the last 3 years (to carry on a Mexican Family Tradition) for Christmas time, and have only used the Chile ancho molido in packets. Next year, I will actually boil the chiles just as shown and hoping ithey will come out great! Thanks again and Feliz Ano Nuevo 2010!!!
I thought this was just too precious. I've always toasted my chilies before boiling, now I can skip that step. Thanks for the inspiring video, now I'm off to make Tamales :) :) :)
I grew up with tamales made in corn husks (my family is from El Salvador), but I tried some made in banana leaves a bit ago. they weren't bad, but ,of course, not like I remember them from childhood.
how many chillis do you use for the sauce? and what else do you put in it. I just made some and the sauce taste bitter, I think i used to many ancho chillis. the first time i made the tamales the sauce was perfect and really red, today its dark and bitter.
for color you can use "Chile de arbol" And i rather make mine with "Chile seco" Or "Chile chipotle" those last two are in my opinion the best for tamales. Also, garlic. you can sautee the sauce and let it reduce for a litle bit, adding some pepper leaves. Don forget if you dont want them too spicy you can ad some roma tomatoes to the mix, boil them with the chiles and then blend it toghether. remember to use two chiles for every tomatoe, wear gloves to clean the chiles
This was not only informative but it is very entertaining. Having the little girl narrate it was a very nice touch too. Those little ones are very cute. Thank you.
Awesome video. I want to make tamales, and I have been watching several videos to get the basic idea, but I will add my own touches. I hope they turn out good, I have never made them.
This video is preious. It is simplistic in form, easy to understand, and true to a family that bring children into the group. That stove looks like mine during a day of cooking. I am white but I cook black, yellow, red, and if I knew any green people I'd cook green too. Thank you for sharing the recipe and the sweet voice of the little girl. I loved it.
Every race has dirty people in it, my aunt lived next to these people who had garbage ankle deep in thier house and they were white(county condemned it) and the people across the street had stinky clothes and dogs all over in thier house and they were mexican, I know this cause when I was little thier kids invited me in to play video games, I was shocked! There was a black girl at school that stank like I don't know what and every one avoided her so you see dirty people come in all colors.
Hey, your kids are adorable. But I'm trying to learn to make tamales-not be "awwwwed" to death. I can't even hear them anyway.

how many chillis do you use for the sauce? and what else do you put in it. I just made some and the sauce taste bitter, I think i used to many ancho chillis. the first time i made the tamales the sauce was perfect and really red, today its dark and bitter.

for color you can use "Chile de arbol" And i rather make mine with "Chile seco" Or "Chile chipotle" those last two are in my opinion the best for tamales. Also, garlic. you can sautee the sauce and let it reduce for a litle bit, adding some pepper leaves. Don forget if you dont want them too spicy you can ad some roma tomatoes to the mix, boil them with the chiles and then blend it toghether. remember to use two chiles for every tomatoe, wear gloves to clean the chiles

This was not only informative but it is very entertaining. Having the little girl narrate it was a very nice touch too. Those little ones are very cute. Thank you.

Awesome video. I want to make tamales, and I have been watching several videos to get the basic idea, but I will add my own touches. I hope they turn out good, I have never made them.

This video is preious. It is simplistic in form, easy to understand, and true to a family that bring children into the group. That stove looks like mine during a day of cooking. I am white but I cook black, yellow, red, and if I knew any green people I'd cook green too. Thank you for sharing the recipe and the sweet voice of the little girl. I loved it.

Every race has dirty people in it, my aunt lived next to these people who had garbage ankle deep in thier house and they were white(county condemned it) and the people across the street had stinky clothes and dogs all over in thier house and they were mexican, I know this cause when I was little thier kids invited me in to play video games, I was shocked! There was a black girl at school that stank like I don't know what and every one avoided her so you see dirty people come in all colors.
