I love America's Test Kitchen. I can't wait to try the tamales and tacos. You are my family.
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
You don’t say they H in Harina
Lol the "green husks" are banana leaves, the dry husks are from corn
Instead of water, use chicken broth and bouillon instead of salt to make the masa. It really amps up the flavor.
Try pickling tomatillos along with peppers and stuff, delicious.
That's not chorizo either!
Looks so tasty, but unfortunately you don't use the Hans , you have to get duty , and even you don't believe the flavor change, and try no use butter, just butter pork getting from Guadalajara Mexico
Why say to get the recipe here, but when you try to get the recipe it is blurry? 😢
Clearly you don't know the first thing on making tamales.
Simply Mama cooks and Rachel Cooks With Love have amazing tamale making videos.
Asi no se hacen los tamalitos de elote 😡 (en mi país no… Dulce con carne 😵)
16:20 Those lost potatoes broke my heart
16:29 chorizo recipe
Why do white ppl always gotta sauté onions for everything?
If you Aren't Latino, Please … Please Stay away from Latino Food! Stick to your regular Non Latino Foods. You can Never Match what Real Latinos do!! Too Vanilla!!!!
These tamales looks so good! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
That’s not tamales 🫔 that’s not how you make it
The pambazo is also potato and chorizo But instead of tortilla is bread in guajillo.
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.
Love you guys!! For years!!
Its totally unnecessary to pre-cook the diced potatoes for your chorizo con papas. I never do. The dice will cook up perfectly with the chorizo.
Try putting some of the sauce in the flour and hominy mix.
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!!!!
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.
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.
Aren't the green ones banana leave tamales?
I have no banana , I have no banana ,
I have no banana , I have no banana
😂😋😁😊😄😅😆😉😘
I am the banana 🍌🍌🍌🍌😁😂
"it's gonna be half gone by the time you're finish seasoning" 😄
I would love for you to make a wonderful dessert called Tres Leche. Thank You so much! 😇
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!!!
Thank you for specifying Mexican chorizo v. Spanish chorizo.
No these are not good tamales.
Keep trying.
Hey white women, please don't try to make mexican food ,ESPECIALLY TAMALES😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
The green ones are banana leaves. 🤦♀️
Dos are not Mexican tamales
The green husk is not corn husk. Usually, it is banana leaf.
Butter en la masa, nop esos son tamales amrecanisados
🤦🏽♀️ this is the worse tamale recipe I EVER SEEN!!🤢
Umm, no.
Ummmmm not green husk it’s a banana tree leaf 😂😂😂
These are not tamales. You need to stop butchering our food. This wannabe tamales need to go into the trashcan.
White people trying to make Mexican food. 😂
the masa is on the wrong side of the husk!!🤦🏼♀️
the tamales recipe looks so wrong!!😬
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.
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.
