Comment préparer Quick Chicken And Cheese Tamales

In a food processor, pulse 2 cups masa harina with 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt until combined.
Add 1 1/2 cups warm water and pulse until the masa harina is moistened.
Add 1/2 cup vegetable shortening in small pieces and drizzle in 1/2 cup chicken broth. Process until smooth, scraping the bowl as needed.
Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Stir in 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons chopped scallions.
Tear twelve 12-inch square sheets of plastic wrap.
Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the tamale mixture onto the center of each sheet of plastic wrap (6 at a time).
Using lightly moistened hands, shape each portion into a 4x2-inch rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
Fold the plastic wrap around the tamale, twisting the ends tightly and tucking them under to create a sealed packet.
Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining tamale mixture.
Arrange the tamales seam-side down in a large bamboo steamer basket.
Place the steamer basket over 2 inches of boiling water. Steam for 25 minutes.
Let the tamales cool slightly. Carefully open the plastic wrap and slide the tamales onto a platter.
Serve immediately with your favorite hot sauce. A crisp, dry Rosé would be a wonderful accompaniment!
