Spicy Ground Beef for Tamales
oolichan
My recipes are low carb paleo: fresh,healthy, whole food ingredients with very few starches, no sugars, no vegetable oils. The health of my spouse and myself has improved dramatically eating this way.
Make your tamales following the technique in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSyW6JwwDYw -- 6 Easy Steps to Little Grandma's Tamales Mexican Cooking Class. Then steam them ... if using an Instant Pot to steam the tamales, see  Cooking Tamales in an Instant Pot

To make the tamale dough, see Grandma Salazar’s Tamales
