To make with Masa

 I have been wanting to make tamales and pupusas since the beginning of the pandemic, so I found these recipes.

Pupusas https://www.google.com/amp/s/tasty.co/amp/recipe/salvadoran-pupusas-as-made-by-curly-and-his-abuelita

I think I did pretty good for my first try. I filled them with refried beans and cheese. I also liked the slaw.

Tamales (not made on the same day...)

I made three types. Sweet corn -https://www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/easy-sweet-corn-tamales-recipe/

bean and cheese, and (soy) chorizo-https://www.veganblueberry.com/vegan-tamales/

The sweet corn ones, I only made 1/3 of the recipe, and it was just enough for the kids, but there were no leftovers. Then I made the other recipe fully.  There were lots of leftovers which I put in the freezer! I steamed them in two batches in the instant pot. It took a little longer than I expected but seemed to work pretty well.

 I didn't use any stock, and I think that would have made the dough more flavorful. Otherwise it was a success.
