Adrian and two friends came home for Christmas break. They really wanted to cook, but needed to keep the recipe gluten free and dairy free. Over spring break, they perfected this recipe.
I am not sure where we found this recipe, but it is one of our top favorites. The tamales do take a good afternoon to prepare, but there is often extra to share or to freeze.
Look for the corn husks at a Mexican store if there is one near you. Soak the dried beans over night before cooking, or see notes to use canned beans. Be sure to soak the corn husks a few hours ahead of time. Homemade tomatillo sauce is recommended.
These are our very favorite tamales. Homemade tomatillo sauce is recommended.
