It's Tamale Time! Please share your favorite tamale recipes.
Christmas eve means tamales at my house. We usually make up several different kinds and everyone goes home with a bag of them for the freezer. We always do a pork and red chile recipe, a chicken version is always served, there's usually some sort of vegan type s/a chile and corn, or bean, and sometimes we have sweet tamales. Sauces include mole negro, chile verde, and something more offbeat s/a nogada, or pumpkin. Please share any tamale recipe that you have.

Sorry I don't have any recipes to help. Tamales are really my favorite Mexican food, unless they are green corn. Mmmm
I really enjoy living in Tucson because you get some of the BEST Mex around. And I enjoy that.

I like to make tamales with pork in a red chili sauce I make from California and New Mexico chile powders with some Chocolate Ibarra added in.
For chicken tamales, I use a green chile sauce made by simmering tomatillos, onions, fresh jalapeno or serrano peppers and garlic. After I cook it, I blend it and add fresh cilantro.
My vegetarian version is simply jalapenos from a can and jack cheese.
My grandmother used to make sweet tamales with a custard. I sure wish I had that recipe!

You poor thing. I can't even imagine having to eat canned tamales. I've never even seen them in the stores before. ~ C
