Ingredients
Instructions
-
Add the corn husks to a bowl and cover with cool water to soak.
-
Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until soft and translucent. Add garlic and sauté a few minutes more, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, combine the masa harina, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, baking powder, and salt.
-
Scoop the sweet potato flesh out of the skin and mash, and add it to the dry ingredients along with the cheese, corn, black beans, and sautéed onions and garlic.
-
Mix all of the ingredients until well distributed. Then, add the melted butter and water and mix until dough is evenly moistened.
-
Lay corn husk flat with the narrow end pointed toward you. Add about ¼ cup of the dough to the center of the husk and form into a log. Fold the bottom of the husk up, and then fold the sides in. Stand the tamales open side up in a metal colander or steam basket. Place the colander into a large pot filled with water. Cover the pot and steam the tamales for 45 minutes – 1 hour (check water level periodically and add more as needed). Corn husk should pull cleanly away from dough when tamales are done.
