If your afraid of making tamales don’t be, in this video I will show you how to make them with simple ingredients. These green Chile chicken and cheese tamales are made with MASECA corn masa flour, the dough is spread on a soft corn husk then filled with my delicious green salsa and chicken, I also add cream cheese. Some tamales have strips of fresh jalapeños in them to give them an added kick, then they are steamed to perfection. ❤️
