Low Carb Keto Chicken Tamale

I've been singing the lamest song this morning as I made these low carb chicken tamales.

It's "Shake Your Booty" by K.C. and the Sunshine Band. (below)

I woke up with it in my head and now I can't get it out for the life of me. I'm afraid that the only way to shake an ear worm is to pass it on, so here you go.

At least you can shake shake shake your booty while making some delicious low carb chicken tamales.

These tamales swap out the traditional cornmeal filling, called masa harina, with a low carb almond flour fillng. This lowers the carb count down to 5g net carbs per tamale. Pretty darn good.

Folding the tamales is a little tricky, so I've put together step by step instructions, just in case you need them.

Gather your ingredients: softened corn husks, pulled chicken and almond flour masa harina.

Lay out one of the corn husks. Add ⅓ cup masa harina to the corn husk and form into a rectangle along the longest edge.

Place ⅛ of the pulled chicken down the middle of the masa harina.

Bring the edges of the corn husk together so that the filling folds over on itself.

Roll the corn husk around itself.

Fold the tamale in half.

Cut one of the cornhusks into thin strips and use one to tie together the tamale.

Ok, now that that's taken care of, I guess I'll get back to what I was doing before.

Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shaking my booty.
