Green Chile, Corn and Cheese Tamale Tutorial

This is similar to the way my dad makes his tamales. He uses medium to hot freshly roasted hatch green chiles and lard only. If you are going to freeze them, please freeze them raw and defrost before steaming them for 1h 30m. That way they will taste fresh.

The video for the masa is hard to hear because the kitchenaid mixer is running, but I wanted to show the whole process. I also had to add an extra 1/2 c of cottage cheese because the masa was 2-3 days old and had dried out a bit.

corn husks / hojas
1/2 c butter
1/2 c lard
2 1/2 lb un-prepared masa
15 oz can cream corn
1 c cottage cheese
1 TBS salt
27 oz can Hatch green chile
1 lb cheese (colby, mild or medium cheddar)
makes 2 1/2 dozen
