To make 100 tamales, you’ll need 16 1/2 cups of masa harina (or a 4.4 pound bag of Maseca). I’ve included the ingredient amounts to make 100 tamales in the notes of the recipe card below. Can I Make Masa for Tamales Ahead of Time? Yes! This dough can be made up to 3 days ahead of time.
There are just two main elements; the dough, and the filling. The dough, called “masa” is spread on the corn husk. The corn husks do not get eaten, they are just used to envelope the dough and filling of the tamale which gets cooked inside.
Do you eat the whole tamale: Tamales are wrapped and cooked in a corn husk. The corn husk is not something that people typically you eat! After making your tamale, you unwrap the corn husk and remove the food from it.
