    Dive into the heart of Mexican cuisine with these exquisite Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tamales, a perfect fusion of tradition and vegan delight. This recipe brings to your table the essence of a time-honored cooking method, wrapped in corn husks, revealing a tender and flavorful masa dough filled with the savory sweetness of black beans and sweet potatoes. It’s a culinary journey designed for those who cherish the depth of Mexican flavors while adhering to a plant-based diet.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 2/3 cup vegetable shortening
    • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
    • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
    • 1 cup cooked black beans
    • 1/2 cup diced red bell peppers
    • 1/2 cup diced onions
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    Steps:

    1. 1. In a large bowl, combine masa harina, baking powder, and salt. Cut in vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    2. 2. Gradually add vegetable broth, mixing until a soft dough forms.
    3. 3. In another bowl, mix together sweet potatoes, black beans, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cumin, and chili powder.
    4. 4. Spread about 2 tablespoons of masa dough onto the center of each corn husk.
    5. 5. Place about 1 tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture in the center of the dough.
    6. 7. Steam the tamales for about 90 minutes, or until the dough is firm and pulls away from the husk easily.
    7. 8. Let the tamales stand for a few minutes before serving.
