A Mexican classic, these Green Chile and Cheese Vegetarian Tamales are filled with roasted poblano peppers and spicy pepper jack cheese. Also gluten free! Place the corn husks in a large bowl and fill with hot water.
This makes the whole process go a lot faster. So for these green chile chicken tamales, just mix some shredded chicken, roasted green chile and grated cheese directly into your tamale masa, scoop into corn husks, and steam until done.
Today, the most common variety involves masa (hominy flour dough) spread on a corn husk, filled with chicken, pork, beef, green or red chile, cheese, or vegetables. The recipe below is a traditional red chile pork tamale; however, I have included a video for green chile chicken tamales from Teresa’s Tamales in Cleveland, New Mexico above.
Traditional recipes for tamales are made using masa dough, which is very high in net carbs. That’s because it’s made from maize, which is a starchy grain. That’s why we made our very own Keto Tamales recipe using high-fat, low-carb almond flour dough inside each corn husk parcel.
