My favorite tamales are Cream Cheese and Jalapeno! Never made them myself, but I lived in the Rio Grande Valley for 30 years. There is a Dalia's tamale business that makes superb ones. At Christmas time, the orders are pre-ordered for months, and a security guard is needed in the parking lot -to prevent riots(lol).
DH just announced that it is Cinco de Mayo, and "What are we gonna BBQ?" Must go to deep freezer to select something. Pork loin braided with bacon sounds good.
