  1. That dough or masa isn’t the traditional way we use masa ,salt, baking powder and lard, broth from cooking meat and if more liquid needed water added (never have I seen anybody use butter or sugar unless making sweet tamale. Just curious why did you use those ingredients (for me not authentic or traditional way of making the dough

  2. The green tamales on the package are banana leaves. In the Yucatan region of Mexico, and other Caribbean countries, tamales and tamale-like concepts (ie. Puerto Rican pastels) are made with banana leaves rather than corn husks.

  3. I have been watching ATK for 5+ yrs, but this chorizo and potatoe taco is just below ok. Even walmart brand chorizo is better than this. Please his measurements are way way off!! Sad ATK just sad!!!!

  4. The taco recipe is one of those strange ATK routines but it works and tastes great! Just be sure you follow their proportions. Regarding the tamales, did she really say that banana leaf comes with an ear of corn inside?….bahahahaha….made my day.

  5. Just the opposite. Both Anaheims and New Mexico chiles are the same chile the only difference is the differing climate in the two states which is what makes the diff in the heat produced–New Mexico are hotter . . . much hotter, some, in fact will set your head on fire. Anaheims are more like bell peppers or Cubanelles.

  6. Could you please post individual videos for the Tamales with Red Chicken Chili Filling and the Chorizo and Potato Tacos? I like to share your videos to my Pinterest recipe boards for future reference. Thanks!!!

  7. I make three varieties and use torn husk ties to differentiate the fillings. Cheese tamales get a double tie and look like little packages. I've found it keeps the cheese inside better to close off both ends.

  8. I love America’s test kitchen. But I’m disappointed with the tamal/tamales recipe. It’s a Rachel Ray version of tamales 🤦🏻‍♀️
    You add don’t add grits or frozen corn in the traditional recipes. Bingeing Babbish did a great job making tamales.
