Boil the cup of water with the chicken in it. When done pull it apart. You can also use beef
Heat the oil add the onions and spices. Saut till onions are soft. Add the chicken.
Mix the flours and the other dough ingredients.
Add 2 tablespoons of dough to a piece of leaf.
Add some of the filling to the center of the dough on the leaf. Fold the leaf into a package. Make sure the dough covers the filling.
Fold again and tie the twine. Add to the steamer. Steam for 30 minutes.
Let rest 5 minutes then serve. Remove from leaf I hope you enjoy!! I served with salsa verde.
My leaves were tattered a bit it was hard to work with. Caused some of my Tamales to crack a bit one actually crumbled.
