- For a more authentic flavor, use fresh corn husks to wrap the tamale loaf. If using dried corn husks, be sure to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- To prevent the tamale loaf from sticking to the steamer, grease the steamer basket with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- Steam the tamale loaf for at least 45 minutes, or until it is cooked through. To check if it is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the loaf is done.
- Serve the tamale loaf with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese.
