cooked ground beef, with seasoning, cooled to fridge temps. roll with cornmeal in a parchment paper and cook.

A mexican tamale is usually slow cooked pork wrapped in masa and steamed in a corn husk.

Masa is corn that has been husked with a lye bath, rinsed and then ground into a paste with corn flour.

corn meal is ground dry corn.

Any good homemade recipes?



They are a pain to make right. My parents neighbor is an old Mexican women that makes awesome ones, it's really time consuming but so good.

The best part is pan frying the extra dough and putting a little of the filling on top of that.

I imagine this recipe is pretty similar to her's

or this one

Much like Delta Tamale's the best ones you are going to get are from random spots, like in Lake Bruin.

The lady that sells them at West Alabama Ice House has pretty damn good ones.
