I decided to use the last of my leftover brisket to make tamales all by myself first time ever. I kind of used nepas's mom's recipe with some web recipes mixed in since I did not start from scratch (uncooked meat).
left over brisket
Shredded
The meat all seasoned up for tamales, still had that great smokey flavor
Soaking the corn Husks
Mixed the Masa
A little lard that I whipped for the Masa
I did get better at wrapping these things as I went along
Getting the steamer ready and dinner in a hour
more work than I had anticipated but hope to reap the rewards
