There's no denying, tamales are a labor of love. But, the result is amazing, tender corn flavored masa filled with juicy succulent goodness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Shredded Beef Tamales, speed up the process by cooking the filling and the tamales in the pressure cooker. Make a big batch and freeze them so you can heat them up whenever you are craving some tamale goodness. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"tamales<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

As simple as shredded beef tamales are, they are a but time consuming to make. Traditional recipes will cook the beef on the stove for hours until it is so tender it falls apart and then another hour steaming them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pressure cooker will speed up both processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the pressure cooker cannot speed up the rolling process. I recommend you recruit some help for that part. You could also cook the meat one day and roll them the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freezing Shredded Beef Tamales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If I am going to the trouble to make them, I'll make a double batch and freeze the extras before steaming for an easy dinner on another night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to freeze:<\/strong> Spread the uncooked tamales out in a single layer on a sheet pan and freeze. Move to zip to lock bags for storage This way you can pull out as many as you want from the bag without having them all frozen together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to cook:<\/strong> Remove frozen tamales from the zip to lock bags and place in the pressure cooker as directed below, adding another 5 minutes to the steaming step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
