I worked with a guy and his sister that brought them to work and sold tamales that their mother had made. I placed an order with him last week for some. Best tamales I`ve ever eaten. This is last years in the picture.

Question- in that photo- how do you make the rice. I've never been able to duplicate what I get in restaurants.

Don’t mean to highjack this thread, but will share my wife’s “Copycat restaurant style Mexican rice”. Ingredients 2 tablespoons butter, 1 cup uncooked white rice, 3 cloves garlic minced, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, pinch of cayenne pepper, 1/4 cup finely diced onion, 1/4 cup tomato sauce, 1&3/4 cups chicken broth, 1-2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly until just golden. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, pepper and cayenne and cook a few more minutes. Stir in onions and cook until onions are tender. Stir in tomato sauce and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender. Fluff with a fork. Stir in cilantro.

I tried them a couple times, but was just too much roughage for my system to handle. Nobody told me you're supposed to peel, before eating!!!

Funny! Do you peel shrimp before eating?

Turns out they go great with breakfast to

That’s a heck of a breakfast!
