Comments
I used to make this during the Christmas season. Our family loves tamales. I had my first tamale when I was probably 5 years old. My grandparents live in Santa Barbara and we would go pick up homemade tamales from a store that specializes in tamales. I have love them ever since. This is a healthy version. It does not contain any lard.
