Ingredients

1 bag Sonora Keto Tamale Masa mix
2 tablespoons lard or olive oil (lard adds flavor!)
2 cups chicken broth or stock
¾ cups cooked, shredded chicken
2 cups roasted, peeled, and chopped green chiles
½ medium onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
8 dried corn husks

Instructions

Soak the corn husks in warm water for 30 minutes to soften.
In a large saucepan, saute the onion and garlic until softened.
Add the shredded chicken, chopped green chiles, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Pour the chicken broth into the saucepan with the chicken and green chiles and stir until combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook until heated through.
In a separate bowl, make the Sonora Keto Tamale Masa according to the instructions on the bag.
Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the masa mixture into the center of each softened corn husk.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the green chile chicken filling down the center of the masa.
Roll up the corn husk, starting from the bottom and rolling towards the top, so that the filling is enclosed. Fold the sides of the husk over the top of the tamale to secure it.
Repeat with the remaining masa and filling.
Steam the tamales in a steamer basket or pot for about 1 hour, until the masa is fully cooked and the tamales are firm.
Serve hot with additional green chile sauce or toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
