Join us online on Sunday, Feb. 28 at 4 p.m. and learn to make Mexican Tamales with Lucia and Maya!

Here is the list of ingredients you will need. Please let us know if you need help acquiring any of the ingredients. 

1 bowl
A steamer that can fit all your tamales  

2 cups of Maseca Corn Flour or Bob's Red Mill · Corn
¾ cup of vegetable oil (the original recipe calls for pork lard... but, we’ll let you decide)
½ tsp. of salt 
¾ tsp. of baking powder
2 ½ cups of vegetable or chicken broth 
1 bag of corn husks (you can also use fresh corn leaves, parchment paper or aluminum foil). If you use corn husks, please make sure you have separated and soaked them before we start. They need to be soft enough to fold.  

Prepare in advance the filling of your choosing. Here are some ideas (but you can also get creative): 

Refried black beans with slices of cheese 
Tofu
Any kind of cooked and seasoned chicken, pork, or red meat 
Or salty leftovers

Toppings (you decide what you want to put on top of your tamales once they are cooked): 

Salsa
Pico de gallo 
Guacamole 
Sour cream

This Sunday, Dec. 20 at 4 p.m. please join Leah, David, Caroline, and Elliot Yonker for a Playdough Challenge. Build and create and let your imagination see where it can take you!
