Time 40m

Yield 5 tortillas, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lean ground beef
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
1/3 cup chopped sweet red pepper
2 cups salsa
3/4 cup frozen corn
2 tablespoons water
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas, halved, and cut into 1/2 inch strips
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
5 tablespoons nonfat sour cream

Steps:

  • In a large non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook beef and peppers over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, drain.
  • Stir in the salsa, corn, and water and bring to a boil.
  • Stir in tortilla strips, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tortillas are softened.
  • Sprinkle with cheese, cover and cook 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with sour cream.

Tips:

  • Soak the corn husks in warm water for at least 30 minutes before using to make them pliable and easy to work with.
  • When making the masa dough, be sure to mix it until it is smooth and well combined. If the dough is too dry, add more liquid; if it is too wet, add more masa harina.
  • When assembling the tamales, be sure to spread the masa dough evenly over the corn husks and to leave enough room at the top to fold the husks closed.
  • To prevent the tamales from sticking to the pan, grease the skillet with cooking spray or oil before adding the tamales.
  • Cook the tamales over medium heat, covered, for about 20 minutes, or until the masa is cooked through.
  • Serve the tamales hot, with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
