Steam the Humitas

Steaming the Humitas

Marian Blazes
Place the humitas, seam side down, on top of the corn cobs in the pot. Cover them with any extra corn husks and the lid of the pot, and steam for about 30 minutes. Keep the water at a low boil. You may need to add more water from time to time, but the water should not touch the humitas.
