Her abuela, who we are heartbroken to report died this past week at the age of 92, took pride in cooking what she called &#8220;poor people food,\u201d in which she\u2019d find the most delicioso ways to use the smallest amount of ingredients in the traditional Mexican dishes she made for her eight children and dozens of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div style=\"display: contents;\" >\n<span class=\"iok\">\n<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-rpjedg3sxn4\" class=\"arve\">\n\t<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n\t\t<div style=\"aspect-ratio:500\/281\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.200000%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-rpjedg3sxn4\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/rpJedg3SXn4?start=26&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/rpJedg3SXn4?start=26&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/familiakitchen.com\\\/es\\\/uchepos-corn-tamales-from-mi-abuela-may-she-rest-in-peace\\\/#arve-youtube-rpjedg3sxn4\",\"type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\\/embed\\\/rpJedg3SXn4?start=26&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=0&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\n\t\n<\/div><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vivi\u2019s abuelita Elisa Abeja offers a master class in how to prepare the pot to steam uchepos.

My grandmother grew up very poor. They spent the whole day prepping and making food from scratch, from the land. It was a full-day process. So, for her, making a meal to feed her children was being rich.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food and faith are why Elisa and her husband came to the States. Vivi&#8217;s grandfather told her they moved to Chicago, where they had friends and a church community, \u201dbecause they never wanted to see their family starve like that. When you don\u2019t grow up with a lot of food, it\u2019s everything. As long as they had food on the table, the family was alright,\u201d says Vivi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by her example, Vivi started cooking and selling her grandmother\u2019s family recipes on the streets of Little Village, a traditionally Mexican neighborhood in Chicago, during the early days of COVID. From there, Vivi was invited to attend a community-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodhe.ro\/\">cooking school, <\/a>graduated in the first-ever class, and is now a young chef in the Chicago restaurant scene. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"597\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Elisa-Abeja-prepares-uchepos-v2-597x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Uchepos or corn tamales by Vivi\u2019s grandmother Elisa Abeja\" class=\"wp-image-36180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Elisa-Abeja-prepares-uchepos-v2-597x1024.jpg 597w, https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Elisa-Abeja-prepares-uchepos-v2-175x300.jpg 175w, https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Elisa-Abeja-prepares-uchepos-v2-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Elisa-Abeja-prepares-uchepos-v2.jpg 642w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A tray of fresh-corn uchepos, ready to be steamed by Vivi\u2019s grandmother Elisa Abeja.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>But Vivi&#8217;s heart and cooking ambition remain connected to her abuelita\u2019s love of &#8220;poor people food.\u201d Starting with, of course: these uchepos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-uchepos\">What Are Uchepos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Uchepos\">Uchepos<\/a> are a humble type of tamal originating in the state of Michoacan, where both of Vivi\u2019s grandparents were born. Unlike typical tamales, which are made with <a href=\"https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/your-guide-to-using-corn-flour-in-latino-cooking\/\">nixtamalized field corn<\/a>, uchepos start with fresh kernels from sweet corn. The juicy ma\u00edz is sliced from the cob and then hand ground or pulsed in a blender, salted, spooned into corn husks, and steamed for 30 minutes. Vivi\u2019s family likes to serve their uchepos with their family\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/vivis-red-salsa-molcajete\/\">red salsa molcajete<\/a> and a little Mexican crema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uchepos are small, so \u201deach person gets about five,\u201d says Vivi. She loves that her family makes them in enormous batches, because it starts with gathering in her grandmother\u2019s kitchen to assembly-line prep hundreds of uchepos every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. \u201cI love that we all make them together,\u201d says Vivi.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Putting-uchepos-in-pot-v2-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Uchepos or corn tamales by Vivi\u2019s grandmother Elisa Abeja\" class=\"wp-image-36182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Putting-uchepos-in-pot-v2-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Putting-uchepos-in-pot-v2-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Putting-uchepos-in-pot-v2-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/familiakitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Putting-uchepos-in-pot-v2.jpg 646w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Place the uchepos in the deep pot, stacked on top of a layer of stripped cobs, and steam for 30 minutes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-honoring-abuela-elisa-through-food\">Honoring Abuela Elisa Through Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This uchepos recipe is dedicated to the life of Elisa Abeja, who was born April 14, 1931 in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nocup%C3%A9taro\">Nocupetaro \u2014 <\/a>called <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nocup%C3%A9taro\">\u201cone of the poorest municipalities\u201d<\/a> in the state of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Michoac%C3%A1n\">Michoacan<\/a> \u2014 and died February 25, 2023 in Chicago. \u201cShe went right to heaven, where she will be joining my grandfather and the angels, who have always watched over her,\u201d says Vivi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her family will be gathering this week for her grandmother\u2019s funeral and novenario, nine days of prayer. The day they meet to recite the rosary at her mother\u2019s house, Vivi plans to make these uchepos to honor her abuela\u2019s memory. \u201cMy grandmother looked at food in a very sacred way. Our family has a song we sing right before we eat. That\u2019s how powerful food and gathering to eat with family are for us. We always used to sing it when we got together at my grandmother&#8217;s house. First, it\u2019s prayer and then we end with our song. It\u2019s beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like these uchepos, all \u201dher dishes are like liquid gold for us,\u201d says Vivi.
