Preparation

Medium

Remove some leaves from the corn and save the best ones for making the tamales. The corn is sliced and ground; you can use a mill, a grinder, or a food processor. Once the corn is ground, add salt, melted butter, and sugar, and mix well. Now we have the dough ready. To prepare each tamale, place a tablespoon of this dough on a corn leaf. Add 2 or 3 thin strips of chili and a strip of cheese, then fold the bottom part of the leaf and place them in a steamer pot. Cook covered over medium heat for 30 to 45 minutes, and then enjoy the warm tamales.
