Spicy Shredded Chicken and Black Bean Whole Grain Tamales
Savor the bold flavors of tender shredded chicken combined with hearty black beans and a wholesome whole grain masa, all wrapped in a spice-laden tamale for a satisfying and vibrant meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Black Beans
1/4 cup Masa Harina
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 medium slice Red Bell Pepper
1 medium slice Onion
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Chili Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat a steamer pot with water simmering on medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt, cumin, and chili powder. Sauté in olive oil with chopped onion and red bell pepper until the chicken is browned and the vegetables are softened.
Add a splash of water and cover the pan. Simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, approximately 10-12 minutes.
Shred the cooked chicken using two forks. Mix in the black beans.
Prepare the masa by combining masa harina with a small amount of warm water until a soft dough forms. Season lightly with a pinch of salt.
On a piece of parchment paper, spread a thin layer of masa dough, then spoon the chicken and black bean mixture onto it. Fold the dough over the filling and create a tamale parcel.
Place the tamales in the steamer basket and steam for about 15-20 minutes until the masa is set.
Serve warm and enjoy your spicy, protein-packed tamale.
