  • Soak corn husks in water.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients labeled tamale mix and stir.
  • Cover bowl with towel or cellophane for five minutes.
  • Take one corn husk and place ¼ cup of rehydrated tamale mix and spread thin and evenly throughout the husk. Place ¼ cup of cooked Ground Taco ME’EAT into the middle and fold over the tamale mix until it covers the filling. Fold down tip of husk. With one husk make ½ inch strips to use and ties. Tie each finished tamale after tip is folded down.
  • Repeat the above step until all tamales are made.
