Elevate your traditional tamalada with this sophisticated Roasted Poblano & Goat Cheese recipe.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh masa

  • 1 cup browned butter (cooled)

  • 2 tsp sea salt

  • 1 cup vegetable broth

  • Corn husks (soaked)

Instructions

  1. Masa: Whip masa, browned butter, and salt. Slowly add broth until the texture is like thick frosting.

  2. Assembly: Spread 2 tbsp of masa on a husk. Place poblano strips and a spoonful of goat cheese in the center.
