Mexican Tamales with Chorizo

[nikkster]

I just made these and they're delicious! I omitted the tomato, added papas and refried beans to the chorizo mix. I also added a chipotle pepper in adobe sauce to my masa mix. It's my first time and I love it..I don't really care for tamales because they're boring and bland to me, but this has lots of flavor going on. All tamales should be a little jazzed up.

@armandozavalazavala

Thank you very much!

[edtwin88]

love it man... san diego stilo

[lazyorc]

Just wondering, why not instead of adding oil first just put the chorizo in and fry the pepper with the grease from the sausage??

[freitasex]

@lazyorc

You can certainly do it that way, so go for it :)

[Annazayla]

I like the fact that you are adding cheese....I wonder how many calories are in just one of these tamales?

[freitasex]

@Annazayla

Probably about 10 calories for each one, lol.

Sorry, I just do not know :(

Michael, I made these tonight (chicken) and loved them!!!!!!! Hooray. Sooo good.

[freitasex]

@thizizliz

Wow, these are a bit of work to make!

You are the best Liz :)

[thizizliz]

@freitasex Thank you Michael. The corn husks were so irregular in size that they came out smaller than I'd have liked but a family member (a most excellent cook) told me to try banana leaves next time. So I'll do that. I'm so looking forward to reheating them tonight. Thanks again for the recipes. I love your channel!

[Dan4USCTroy]

sorry but that is way too much work.. save the trouble and just buy them..there only 10 bucks a dozen., big deal

[iLikeCookie88]

@Dan4USCTroy A lot of people find cooking relaxing, and you know that there won't be any nasty additives if you make it yourself...

[Dan4USCTroy]

@iLikeCookie88 good point.. I guess you have to have lots of patience to make these great dishes.. I got caught up with the worlds fast pace of cooking. Everything is done in a microwave in my world..lol

[yousuck2002000]

do you have to put the cheese on there or an you leave them off?

[freitasex]

either way is fine, but I prefer the cheese.

thank you for your question!

[candyflipdhippy]

the only tamales ive ever eaten are made by my grandma and apperently no one else makes em the same as her i would like to try these they look tasty :P my grandmas are made with chicken shredded and fried with jalapenos and chili peppers and the outside is a carrot/potato mash and a fresh corn and corn flour kinda dough and she always puts a olive right in the middle and she always uses banana leafs to wrap is this normal anywere? she is from honduras if that makes a difference

[freitasex]

Your Grandma is normal!

People from different countries make food differently, and many countries use banana leaves... some people in Mexico use banana leaves and most use corn husks for the traditional Christmas season.

Tamales can have almost anything in them, these are just a favorite of mine.

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!

Tamales with Chorizo? Yum that sounds pretty good. I never heard about that but hey tamales are my favorite. My mom makes great tamales. She makes ones that has chicken, corn, potato,this tomoato sauce and she adds cheese. All inside the tamale. Trust me! Its really good.

[freitasex]

You mom sounds like a great cook!

I put corn in the masa, and love the masa that way.

Tamales are one of my favorite foods, and so many people will make them soon.

[Espana49]

That looks really good, i've never cooked mexican food but i'd like to try this, Do you know how to make Pozole? I tryed it once at a mexican friend's house and I liked it but I dont have the recipe to make it, I enjoy your cooking very much, thank you.

[freitasex]

Margarita!

I am honored that you watched this video, as I admire you so very much.

For 17 years I lived on the Mexican/USA border at San Diego and have been to Mexico/Tijuana many times as well as Pueto Vallarta and Tecate and Ensenada.

Pazole, yes I know that soup, but I have never tried it myself.

Sorry, I just cannot imagine trying to make it, but of course I would try it... the opportunity has never presented itself to me.

Thanks for watching!

Michael
