I made these with sweet potatoes and mushrooms. They were delicious despite the lengthy prep time. It was well worth it.

This was a hit! I made this last Saturday night….or should I say I made it all day Saturday and served it Saturday night? It took me a long time to make, but it was worth the effort. I used some chicken, left over from some burritos, and it was excellent. I charred it a little to give it a smokey taste. I made the dough the day before and refrigerated it and I think that worked well and it was one less thing I had to do on the serving day. I loved the way the tie slipped off the husk and opened to this tasty little treat. They were fun to eat and I’ve already had requests to make them again. Next time I’ll add a little more heat. I like things spicy! I had a little trouble determining if they were done and I think I will leave them in the steamer a little longer next time, but the directions were good and amount of dough, corn husks, mix came out perfectly. Very excited to give this a go again!

Anderuel, I only used about 2 1/4 cup of broth too. It’s probably a typo. You can always add more broth if you feel the masa is too dry.

I am in the process of making this right now (thanks, mommiecooks!)…I think there is a typo on the veggie broth. I’ve read and re-read this recipe, and I can only find that you use 2 1/4 cups of broth, not 5 1/4. Am I missing something? Anyone?

I used your recipe for my masa and it was very good. It had so much flavor and it went really well with my sweet potato and pepper jack filling. I can’t wait to make them again with your zucchini filling. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.

It’s so great to see a vegetarian tamale recipe!!!
We just made sweet potato with chipotle cheese and black bean tamales this weekend. Can’t wait to try this recipe too.

We lived in El Paso for a few years, we always waited in line at a little tiny shack of a place that made tamales for New Year’s Eve, the line was very very long – – – I think it is time for folks in upstate New York to have some for New Year’s Eve!! Thanks for the recipe
