Comment préparer Tamale Bites

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shredded meat and chopped onion. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced green chilies (undrained), diced tomatoes (undrained), chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), and cilantro. Cook for 2 minutes more.
Add 1 cup of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer for 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the masa harina, baking powder, salt, and cumin.
Gradually add the beef stock, mixing until the mixture is crumbly.
Stir in the melted shortening until the dough is smooth.
Lightly grease a mini-muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Roll the masa mixture into 24 small balls (approximately 2 teaspoons each).
Press each masa ball into the bottom of a mini-muffin cup to form a small shell.
Once the beef mixture has simmered, stir in the sour cream and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fill each masa shell with the beef mixture.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tamale bites are golden brown and heated through.
Let cool in the muffin tin for 3-5 minutes before carefully removing.
Use a small knife to loosen the edges, then gently lift out the tamale bites.
Garnish with crumbled queso fresco and fresh thyme leaves.
Serve warm and enjoy!
