There's no reason you can't make your own tamales. With this small batch, you don't even need to spend a lot of time making them either.
When you hear about tamales, I know that you've heard about the entire family getting together and spending a day making a huge batch of tamales. But, you don't need to do that. You can make a small batch to get started. It doesn't take as long as you may think.
I've worked on tamales
by myself for three years. It took me awhile to come up with a way to make tamales that could be made by anyone. This is the small batch you need. I've taken all the shortcuts like using chicken and using an Instant Pot. Go ahead and get this Chicken Tamales Recipe so you can get started.
Here are more recipes once you've tried the small batch.
