Tamales! Tamales! This is your detailed step by step recipe. I walk you through the process of making tamales in a Mexican home. Tamales are a corn masa (Dough) that is spread on a soft corn husk and filled with your choice of protein and traditional fillings. Once the Tamales are steamed get ready to unfold into a warm soft flavor combination that will bring comfort food to another level of deliciousness. Make sure to discard the corn husk after consuming it. I hope you enjoy the views family take on tamales. I always recommend making it comfortable for your home. Lots of love, Stephanie, Cloud, and the views family. Cook time for shredded beef 2 1/2- 3 Hours
*You can substitute the protein of choice: for chicken the cooking time will be 45 min. If using pork butt cook for 2 1/2 Hours*

This recipe will yield 2+ Dozens of Tamales
The beef in this recipe can be substituted for your favorite protein such as pork or chicken
