Tamal de rajas
Tamal de rajas is a traditional Mexican dish made of corn masa stuffed with strips of roasted poblano peppers, cheese, and other delicious fillings. It is then wrapped in a corn husk and steamed until cooked. The result is a flavorful and slightly spicy tamal that is perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina (corn flour for tamales)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt to taste
- 4 large poblano peppers roasted, peeled, and cut into strips
- 1 cup shredded cheese (such as Oaxaca or Monterey Jack)
- Corn husks soaked in warm water for about 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina, vegetable broth, vegetable oil, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until you have a smooth dough-like consistency.
- Take a soaked corn husk and spread a thin layer of the masa mixture on the center of the husk.
- Place a few strips of roasted poblano peppers and a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of the masa mixture.
- Fold the sides of the corn husk over the filling, then fold up the bottom of the husk to create a tamal package.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have used up all the masa mixture.
- Place the tamales in a steamer and steam for about 1 hour, or until the masa is cooked through and firm.
- Let the tamales cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
