Tamales with chicken in salsa verde from Familia: 125 Foolproof Mexican Recipes to Feed Your People (page 101) by Marcela Valladolid

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute sour cream for crema Mexicana, and corn husks for frozen banana leaves.

    Marcela taught me to make tamales in one of her first online classes during covid. With prepared masa (that I easily found in a Mexican market and can also be ordered online) tamales are actually quite easy. I have made tamales using her birria recipe for stuffing as well.
