It’s a great quick and easy recipe. But you’re right, I get some killer homemade tamales made by actual Mexican’s around here 😋

When we first moved here my friend would ship them to me every few months, what they call tamales here, are NOT.
Finally after hurricane Gustave some real Mexicans moved in and we've been good ever since.
