After getting a layer of masa, the husks were then passed on to Erica, who filled them with a mixture of shredded pork and red chile. Later, she would switch to shredded chicken, green chile, and jack cheese. Then we’d make a dozen of cheese only just for me to take home since I didn’t do spicy or chile or salsa. If there was any masa left, Welita would prepare sweet tamales made with raisins, nuts, and pineapple.
