I just love to have tamales in my freezer; I make them vegan and they are gluten free, for the filling I use organic masa harina -corn meal- with a savory organic beans cooked with tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and spices mixture ; not too spicy-as you could add a spicy sauce- wrapped in corn husk and steamed for about an hour. To heat them I get my cast iron pan, add some little water using a lid a very low heat for about five minutes on each side.
Depending on on the time of the day I like to have mine with a couple of slices of avocado and an egg or just cheese and a side salad; they are delicious, nutritious and easy to eat.
