Place a portion of the dough in the corn husks and wrap them up. Steam for a half hour. Nactamales: Place a portion of the dough in each each corn husk. Add green mole, red mole, picadillo or strips of poblano peppers with cheese. Cover with more dough, and wrap it into a tamal. Steam for a half hour.
