1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt

For the filling
For the masa
Directions
To make the filling, in a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil and melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and sauté for 6-8 minutes until the mushrooms shrink down and are softened. Add the peppers and the sherry and sauté for 2 minutes. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the pan. Stir and remove from the heat.
To prepare the masa, pour the contents of the masa package into a mixing bowl. Stir in the ground mushroom and add the chicken stock. Stir until well combined.
To finish the tamales, follow the directions on the back of the tamale kit. Makes 12 tamales.
Recipe Note
MAKE IT VEGAN: Substitute the butter with plant-based fat and chicken broth with a rich vegetable broth.
If Red Serrano Peppers are not in season, try substituting with Red Fresno Peppers which are a tad less spicy.
