Instructions to make Tamales de rajas y queso (green chile and cheese):
- Place hojas in hot water until ready to wrap tamales.

- Slice cheese into about 1"x1"x4" pieces. Small enough to make wrapping tamales easy.
- Slice chiles into long strips (rajas).
- Get an hoja in one hand and a spoon in the other… scoop some masa onto the hoja and spread it up. (It's an art) place one piece of cheese and some chile strips. The serranos are the hot chiles so be careful.
