A green chile made of roasted chiles, tomatillos, and cilantro provides a bright and fruity base for the chicken in these light and tender tamales
These tamales are really moist and the filling is full of flavor. You can adjust the heat to your liking. The directions include thorough directions for wrapping the tamales or if you prefer, you can use your favorite method. If using store bought prepared masa, make sure to use Masa for tamales and not Masa for Tortillas
Everyone makes masa different & here i show you my method. Let the masa sit for 10 minutes before assembling the tamales for better results
Enjoy for breakast or anytime of day😋
