Tamale party

Today I'll show you How To Host A Tamalada, a tamal-making party that is a festive celebration of community and culinary craftsmanship.

Friendsgiving Tamalada. As you know, I love to host a tamalada every year, but this year I decided to change it up and hosted a Friendsgiving Tamalada for No Kid Hungry. I can’t think of a better way to get in the holiday spirit than getting a group of family and friends together around tamales to support a great cause.

Even though this is a Christmas tradition in Texas, there’s no reason you can’t make tamales post-holiday, or even in January! Use it as an excuse to reconnect with friends after the stress of the holidays.

In the Latin culture, tamales are a traditional Christmas dish—and making them is part of the holiday, too. Every year, family members gather for a tamalada, a day-long tamale-making party, in preparation for the feast. Here's how to host a tamalada of your own!

Let’s face it — hosting a holiday meal is a lot of work, usually relegated to one or two people spending hours in the kitchen. But if the point of the holidays is to spend more time with friends and family, why not make Christmas dinner an all-hands-on-deck affair instead? Making tamales is a Christmas tradition in many Mexican households, and a tamale party is the perfect way to have everyone pitch in to make a special meal together.

December 12, 2021: After more annual Tamale Parties, I have done some fine tuning and made some updates to this recipe. First: I scaled up the masa dough ingredients to yield a larger batch that completely fills a 6-quart Instant Pot (about 24 tamales). Second: The more tightly-packed pressure cooker benefits from a slightly longer cook time; I've increased the cook time from 20 to 25 minutes.
