Humitas Step by Step- Steamed Corn Tamales

Remove Kernels

Marian Blazes
Strip the kernels from the corn. This recipe is a great way to use up older corn that has started to dry out - you can sometimes remove the dry kernels by hand. If you are using very fresh corn, you will need to cut them off with a knife, or use a corn stripper. Save the corn cobs for the next step...
