Does anyone have a recipe for a good chicken tamale?

It's so hard to find a good tamale these days, unless your in MexicoDoes anyone have a recipe for a good chicken tamale?
Here's a cool SUPER-QUICK way to make chicken tamales or chicken enchilada's:





#1 BUY A rotisserie chicken from your local Grocery or Deli.





#2 Debone the already cooked chicken and small dice.





#3 Mix deboned chicken %26amp; 1 Large jar of your fav picante' sauce into a pot and heat through.





#4 After heated through, roll chicken into Masa Corn-meal mix and bake at 375 for 15 minutes (roll in paper or corn husks), or use a soft Flour tortilla, (for enchilada's).





This takes all of 30-35 minutes to actually MAKE! And my family goes ';Ape-sh*t'; for the flavor. This is the easiest recipe for chicken enchilada's or tamales you will ever find!





I serve this once a week to my family. Of course, you CAN add green bell peppers, onion's, extra chiles, Etc. But it ';holds up'; by itself.





Try it!Does anyone have a recipe for a good chicken tamale?
mine are kinda complicated but really well worth it!


boil your chicken and debone

saute some diced onion and jalapenos


add the shredded chicken and simmer w/chicken broth and ground cayenne pepper


taste it and adjust to taste


4 cups of masa


3/4 c lard (has to be lard... no sustitute)


2 1/2 tlbsp baking powder


cayenne pepper and chilli powder to taste


mix and add chicken broth if necessary to get right consistancy to spread

These are the good kind. They are good all by themselves and a beer.
