Como hacer Chuchitos Guatemaltecos. Quedan riquísimos y es fácil de hacer.

queso fresco

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese provides a similar texture with lower fat.

masa harina

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Whole wheat flour adds more fiber, while cornmeal is often less expensive.

Soak dried corn husks in warm water until softened.

Prepare a steamer pot with water according to the instructions.

Chop the onion and add it to the pot with the tomatoes, tomatillos, and red chili.

Remove the stems from the dried chiles and cut them into pieces, adding them to the pot.

Add 2 cups of water to the pot and cover to cook until the vegetables are tender.

In a separate pan, heat oil and add 6 cloves of garlic, cooking until browned.

Toast the pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds in the same oil.

Blend the cooked vegetables with a little water, chicken bouillon, and salt until smooth.

Strain the blended mixture to remove any chunks.

Combine the masa harina with 10 cups of water, mixing until a dough forms.

Use your hands to knead the masa until it reaches the right consistency for tamales.

Fill the softened corn husks with masa and a spoonful of the filling, folding them to seal.

Place the filled husks in the steamer and steam until cooked through.
