Chuchitos

Today we made chuchitos with our cooking teacher. They're very similar to tamales, but much much easier to make. Having never attempted tamales, I can't speak for the effort involved in making them, but apparently they require much more cooking and stirring of the corn dough. For chuchitos, we didn't need to cook the dough first; simply mixed it up, flattened it (we were amused to learn that tortillar is a verb: we tortilla, you tortilla, she is tortilla-ing!):


Then we placed the sauce & chicken inside:

Wrapped it up in the corn husks:

And steamed for an hour:

Deliciosos!!!!
