#TAMALES
Those are more like burritos
Don't stick your fingers in the food that is so nasty. Everybody took turns. You can't use too much chile you only need a few. You need alot of practice in making them.They do not look like tamales.
Love this n all ur videos. My friend’s husband birthday s next week n he grew up eating tamales . I thought my friend n I would make it for his birthday. Your video came right on time!👍💕
Hey Jen! My sister and I are getting together next weekend to make some tamales! I can’t wait!
I noticed that you did not STRAIN the red chili before you added to the pork. Chili has a thin skin on it like a popcorn kernal does. When chili is green, we roast them and then peel the skin off. with Red chili, because they are green and then turn red and dry, we have to strain them. You should use a fine strainer to eliminate that fine skin and your sauce will be smoothe, less bitter, and taste better. Your masa looked a bit thick and maybe could have used more broth. Anyway I commend you on a GREAT effort and Loved the video!
Grew up eating tamales, but only made them once. One of my favorite local plays here in San Antonio is Las Nuevas Tamaleras about a group of women who get together to try and make them on their own the first time. Since I started using my IP I got brave enough to try. Your recipe makes it look much easier. I'm going in! 😉 Hoping to have some yummy tamales and albondigas tonight. Happy New Year!
Your videos are literally the best! It’s good to see that even with a busy lifestyle eating better is still possible! Also I’ve never tried tamales but I want to so bad 😩😩
Great looking tamales. My wife and I really want to make some this coming year! Thanks for sharing.
Natural release on the tamales? I'm thinking you probably didn't have to oven roast the peppers. They're already dried, which enhances the flavor. Maybe that's why they were so spicy? Your tamales look great.
This is awesome! Really well done video. Can't wait to try these. Thank you so much!
Thanks I've been looking for a simple instant pot tamales cook time.
Thank you for the video. Love it!
Authentic “uses instant pot” “adds tomato sauce”
Love your channel xo
This is a great video. subbed -PawPaw
I used to live in Tucson and LOVED when ladies would sell tamales outside of the Hispanic grocery store. Such a treat! Great video… makes me feel a little braver to try at home🌽🌶🍖
Jen, I've just started watching your channel and I love it. Thank you for being here for all of us that need a lot of help.(Well I do anyway). Please keep up Your weekly video's. Thank you and you ROCK.
By far the best video I've seen that doesn't seem so time-consuming. Thank you so much!!
Ok my cheese fell to the bottom? Any suggestions?
Love your videos

Your tamale masa was the right texture for tortillas but not tamales, you should be able to spread it with a knife and come they out soft after steaming. Try adding more lard to the mix
The cheese and green chili are really good! I love this video it’s so informational and I have an instant pot so I’m so excited to use it in my tamale cooking this year!
Hello Jen, I watch all your videos religiously. Their amazing and funny and so real. Your my favorite person to watch. Love your kids, their so cute. Keep up the good work.

Both times I used my instapot to steam my tamales it turned the Monterey jack cheese orange? have you had that problem? When I make my cheese and jalapeno tamales in a tamale pot it doesn't happen. I've googled it and absolutely no information at all.
Girl, you got that right! Lard is the only way! 😆
Hey Jen I love that you made tamales. I'm Hispanic and have never tried. Only have memories of my grandma making them. But now I definitely am going to give them a try after watching this video!! Thanks so much for sharing and keep the videos coming!! 👍❤👍❤
You made your masa wrong. Your supposed to spread the masa out on the husk. When you make your masa you have to mix with your hands four at least 45 min.. Oh well you tried. That's not the way you roll. I hate to disappoint you, but those are not authentic.
I made mine all in the instant pot. Did the pork shoulder with bone 1 whole onion and 2 gloves garlic and 4 cups water for 2 hours. Pull pork out of instant pot and debone place bones back in instant a long with any rind and jelled fat. Shred meat refrigerate. Add 6 to 8 cups of water to bone and broth pressure cook high 2 more hours. Strain bone broth, pour desired amount of stock back into instant pot for chili sauce and pressure cook ingredients 20 minutes on high. I just mix chili mixture with emmerson blender and whaa la I did the first few steps a day or 2 ahead of time without cleaning up in between. I make fresh corn masa from mexican hominy and rendered fats and stock.
These look so good! I have had them on my “to do” list for a while. It’s fun to see how awesome the instant pot did with the pork. I love my IP! Definitely looks like fun to do with someone. Thanks!
Looks good
I love tamales but hate making them. They're a pain. Not sure if you know this, but you dont need to toast the chilis. Just soak then in hot water. We also add chicken bullion instead of salt to it. Just a suggestion.
Wow!!!🤗Great job, I’m Hispanic and have not attempted to make tamales yet, you make it look so yummy 🤤and easy! Thank you for the inspiration!👍🏻and for all the other videos you make..😊
I appreciate your recipes, tips and ideas immensely! Additionally, I find your voice incredibly relaxing.
Just found your channel and been binge watching.
You’re an awesome inspiration for young and old alike! I’m an experienced cook but, due to battling health issues, I’ve had to take several steps back and “start over” in my approach to food prep. I find myself turning to you again and again. I’m thankful for you! Congratulations on your subs and best to you in your endeavors. Tamales are one of my favorites (anything that comes in it’s own neat little package is incredibly appealing to me) and you’ve make me want to grab my sister and daughter and get busy making a huge batch 💖😊
Tamales are a lot of work but so delicious, great video showing us how to make them and cook in the IP, thanks for another awesome video! Keep them coming!
Love your videos especially your prep ones, thanks to you I have started prepping too.
Love your channel! I have been watching your meal prep videos, you are awesome and have so many good ideas! 😊
These look delicious! Definitely need to get a vacuum sealer!
Great video once again. You never disappoint.This made me want to make some. Congrats on 35k subscribers!
I just found you about a week ago. I can’t get enough of your videos. Congrats on reaching 35k subs. ❤️
This reminds me when I was a teenager and would go to my friends house and her mother and grandmother making tamales I hope I win 💗💗💗 congratulations on 30k
You have the best videos. Love your channel.
Those look so delicious! I have made homemade chile sauce for enchiladas but tamales always seemed so daunting. I may have to talk my mother into making these with me! I think she used to back in the day when we lived on the border! Love your meal preps!
Congratulations on 35k!!! I love watching your videos, they are really inspiring for meal prep. When I meal prep, I don't eat out so much and that saves money and helps me eat way healthier.
My family made the 2 hour trip to spend the weekend with my sister and her family. She and I made your quiche together for the first time! It was amazing. We ended up making breakfast, lunch and dinner with enough leftovers for tomorrow for the 9 of us.
