- Spread 1 heaping tbs of masa onto the top left corner of the corn husk, about a 4"x4" square. Add in two strips of pepper and 1 stick of cheese to the center of the masa. Roll in the left corner, pulling all the mixture into the center and continue to roll the rest of the husk. Bend the bottom of the husk up and place facing up into a steamer pot. Continue to fill the pot up until full of standing up tamales..
- Cover the steamer pot and bring to boil. Lower heat to medium low, and steam for 1 hour..
- Tamales are best right out of the pot, hot hot hot. Add some of Auntie Dee-Dee's Fire Roasted Salsa to complete..
