RECIPE INGREDIENTS

6 cups Maseca corn masa mix for tamales

1 cup corn oil
2 tsp salt

1 1/2 large rotisserie chicken
2 cans Salsa Verde or tomatillo sauce

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Soak the corn husks in warm water until soft.
2. Blend with an electric mixer Maseca corn masa mix for tamales, corn oil, salt, baking powder and the chicken broth to obtain a consistent mixture.
3. Shred the chicken and marinate in the green salsa or tomatillo sauce.
Spread masa evenly over corn husks, and spread a spoonful of marinated chicken on top of the masa.
4. Fold the sides of the cornhusk to center over the masa so that they overlap to make along package.
5. Fold the empty part of the husk under so that it rests against the side of the tamale with a seam.
6. Place the tamales in tamale steamer and cook tamales for 35-40 minutes. Check every 20 minutes. The tamales are cooked when they separate easily from the corn husk.

Tamales kit
February 7, 2012
I bought this as a gift for a freind who has already made a batch of the best tamales I have tried, homemade makes a difference. The only thing I question is the size of the pot, the description says 16 quart but it is much smaller than my other 16 quart stock pots. I would have choosen the other kit on this site that comes with the masa spreader and is described as a 12 quart steamer which is probably the size of this one. That spreader would make the process easier.

tamale making kit
January 1, 2012
even my first attempt was good enough to pass some out to the old single vets that are my neighbors! Wish it had included whatever you have to help smooth and thin the masa!
Pros
  • I like this kit
Cons
  • I really wish this beginner kit had also had whatever it is you have for smoothing out the masa, I see you do have something, just can't figure out what it is...that was my only complaint on my first try was the lumpy masa - thinner, smoother application would have made even my first attempt IDEAL but I still passed some out to my single vetran neighbors

A Great Kit
December 30, 2011
Although I have not yet used it, I am very pleased with the quality of this product. I wish MexGrocer would include print outs of the red and green tamale recipes posted on their blog - that would be a nice touch. But, in a pinch, the instructions on the Maseca package should do. Thank you and please keep doing what you do so well!!

The pot is great. Perfect size for a full batch of tamales. I only made a half batch this last time, and had to put a strainer in the pot to hold the tamales. Worked perfectly! Cleans easy, discolors while cooking, great multi-purpose pot.

I had never made tamales before and couldn't find corn husks here (small town in Canada). I also didn't have a suitable pot and rack for steaming them so decided to order the whole kit. Upon arrival I was dismayed that the pot was all bashed in at the bottom. I was given a quick refund when I brought it to their attention but I would rather have the pot. I have a smooth top stove and it's going to wobble - I also like my things to look like they are in good repair. So, I have rigged up something with another rack and pot. Anyhow - I used the ingredients included with the kit and made chicken tamales and they were GREAT!. Aside from some very expensive shipping (because it was an international order) and the bashed in pot I'm happy with my transactions with MexGrocer.com. My issues were handled promptly and courteously and all the included food items were satisfactory. If you are going to order this pot be prepared to make a LOT of tamales to fill it - it's huge.

I have NEVER made tamales before. We used to get them from a Mexican lady every Fall when she would come up to Maine. Double-Delish!! I wanted to try making them myself because we couldn't get them from her anymore. This kit was perfect. The tamales came out excellent. They tasted just like hers...maybe even better. Also, I love the pot. I can use it for so many things, not just tamales; for example, steamed lobster or clams or corn on the cob all come out perfect.

This kit is awesome...after Cinco de Mayo, I craved tamales - we can't get them in the Virgin Islands - I made a batch, using all of the products and going to the MexGrocer web site for additional advice on technique - they were wonderful. In my opinion, MexGrocer's customer service was A+ and the order arrived quickly. I would recommend their services to anyone wanting to create authentic Mexican dishes.
