I don’t eat corn husks... chocolate I am multinational with.. I like salsa if it’s not overly hot and I have chips for dipping.

I don't eat corn husks either but the cornmeal and meat that is inside of them gets devoured. A little salsa on them is a bonus.

I didn’t know I had the option to dump the corn husks.. I will try them then.

I used to make them every year. They are too unhealthy for me to make nowadays. I just can't force myself to make them anymore.

Tamales are not healthy?

Tamales are not healthy?

Not with all the damn lard in them...no.

Tamales are not healthy?

Lard, ground corn, meat.

Sounds fairly balanced.
Hard part is not eating them till they’re gone.

I just can’t figure out how to make them fast.

The prep for them sucks. Have to make a truck load to make it worth it. Then..... see above.
