Yield Makes 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

36 dried corn husks
2 cups frozen corn
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons salt
2 chipotle chilies
2 tablespoons adobo sauce
1/2 pound ground chorizo sausage
2 pounds finely ground cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 cup vegetable shortening, melted and cooled
1 to 3 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • 1. Soak 24 of the husks in warm water for 1 hour. Tear 2 husks lengthwise into 24 (1/2-inch-wide) strings.
  • 2. Toss the frozen corn with the oil and 1 teaspoon of the salt, then spread it over a cookie sheet.
  • 3. Roast in a 400°F oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • 4. Puree the chilies with the adobo sauce. In a small bowl, combine the chorizo and chili puree.
  • 5. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, and the remaining salt. Add the shortening, chorizo mixture, and corn. Stir in the stock gradually until the mixture has the consistency of mashed potatoes.
  • 6. Spoon 1/4 cup of the filling into the center of each husk. Roll to form a cylinder, fold the ends over, and tie with the husk strings.
  • 7. Line a steamer with some of the remaining husks, add the tamales, and cover with more husks and the lid. Steam until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

These tamales were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best tamales he's ever had.

I tried making these tamales but they didn't turn out well. The masa was too thick and the chorizo filling was bland. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These tamales were a bit dry for my taste. I think I should have added more liquid to the masa dough.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but these tamales were surprisingly mild. The chorizo flavor was still there, but it wasn't overpowering.

These tamales are a great way to use up leftover chorizo. I usually have some left over after making tacos or enchiladas, and this is a great way to use it up.
