Step-by-Step Instructions
- Soak corn husks in hot water for at least 1 hour until pliable. Drain and pat dry.
- In a saucepan, combine soaked guajillo and arbol chiles with enough water to cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Blend with garlic, onion, and a splash of soaking liquid until smooth; strain and season.
- Sauté minced garlic in a skillet, add jackfruit and half the guajillo sauce. Simmer for 15 minutes and shred jackfruit with forks. Cool.
- Beat coconut oil until fluffy. Gradually mix in masa harina, baking powder, salt, cumin, and vegetable broth until smooth and pliable.
- Spread about ¼ cup of masa dough on a corn husk, add jackfruit filling, fold sides and roll. Tie with a husk strip.
- Steam tamales upright in a steamer pot for about 40 minutes or until masa pulls away from the husk.
- Let tamales rest after cooking before serving, either warm or drizzled with remaining sauce.
