Tastes just like the Tomalito I've had at Chevy's! In fact, I love that restaurant for the tomalito in itself! First of all, I doubled the recipe so I'd have plenty left over as well. I was able to purchase the corn flour at my usual grocery store. I followed the advice of many of the previous posters about using the microwave however, I definitely had to cook mine for longer than was suggested. I believe you'll just have to play around with whatever works. The end result is a little grainy and a little dry... but quite honestly its delicious! I will definitely be making this again and I'm sure it'll get better the more I learn about my microwave!

Cooking method made all the difference for me. The first time I made it, I used the microwave. I wasn't impressed because it was grainy and dry. This time, I placed tin foil in the bottom of a pasta pot, placed the tomalito on top of the foil and then placed the pasta pot into a larger pot with simmering hot water and then covered it with the pan lid. It was moist, cooked well and delicious with the stovetop method. Great recipe!

Very tasty, indeed! Very similar to Chevy's version. You can get masa harina (corn flour) in the Hispanic section of any grocery store I've been to. I've made this recipe a few times, the last time I followed it exactly. The amount of sugar is necessary if you want this to be a sweet desert sort of thing. I think next time I'll cut the margarine in half, though-- it's really not necessary, and it'll be a lot healthier that way. It was slightly overcooked at 7 minutes 30% power, 4 minutes 100% power in my 1100 watt microwave. Next time I'm going to do 7 minutes 30% power, 3 minutes 100%-- I think that will turn out perfectly. Delicious recipe, thanks for posting, TheKirklands!

The first time I made this, I made it as directed and still wasn't cooked through after 75 minutes. I had to finish it in the microwave. The next time I made it, I used the microwave (covered with press n seal). I set it at 500watts for 5 minutes then full power for 2.5 minutes. Stirring between cycles. It's so easy and tastes great. Never have left overs.

I was craving this and did not have masa harina or cornmeal. So I used Trader Joe's cornbread mix. I measured out the mix accordingly in place of all the dry ingredients... as if I was using the harina, cornmeal, sugar, salt, etc. I followed the recipe for the wet ingredients. I also cooked it in the microwave for 7 mins on 30% and 4 mins on 100%. It was great!!! I got my fix. It doesn't have that authentic mexican taste without the harina, but it was good enough for me on this day!

Just like at Chevy's! I used the microwave method (7 mins at 30%, 4 mins at 100%), covering the 8x8 pyrex with saran wrap to keep the moisture in. Ate half the batch in one sitting! Oops!

I tried this before a long time ago and while it tasted great, I had trouble getting the consistency right in the microwave.

Really easy and everyone liked it! I make it as a side, and I think I will try to double the recipe next time and hope for leftovers. Changes I used: didn't have corn flour, so I used regular flour, I cooked this in the microwave stirring frequently, I used more of the total corn kernels (canned) in the blender and that left less whole pieces to add in (resulting in a smoother texture), after cooking and cooling a bit I rolled it into balls and rolled the balls in powdered sugar.

Much less time consuming if you just microwave it. I wet a paper towel, squeezed the excess water and put it over the 8x8 to create a steaming effect in the microwave. Only took 2-3 minutes after my failed attempts steaming over a boiling pot of water. Very tasty!!!

WOW! This is so good! I never had the stuff at Chevy's but it reminds me of the tamales at Cheesecake Factory. I drizzled some sour cream on top after scooping it out. It tastes like cornbread pudding. It takes over an hour but it's not constant labor... you just let it sit on the stove. No biggie. IT'S WORTH IT!!
