Serving Size: 20
- 2 tomatoes -- diced
- 2 canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce -- minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro -- minced

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine tomatoes, chipotle chilies, onion, cilantro and salt in medium

Cut each chili into 4 pieces.
Tear 2 corn husks into 16 long strips for frying tamales; set

sides, top and bottom of husk exposed.
Place 1 piece of chili and 2 cheese cubes over masa.
Spread 1 tablespoon masa dough over filling.
Fold corn husk over filling and masa dough, beginning with right
and left sides and ending with the non-pointed husk end.
Tie the tamale "package" together with corn husk strips.
Make sure filling is fulling enclosed and strips are securely knotted.
Place tamales not touching each other in steamer over boiling
water.
Cover and steam for 1 hour over medium high heat, adding more water
if necessary.
Makes about 20 tamales.
