Ahhh!! Good luck on making tamales without Abuelita!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!! You got this!!
I discovered Trader Joe's tamales during COVID lockdown and was severely depressed that I would be missing out on the tamale making back home. They truly are not half bad considering you get to forgo the manual labor/time.
I grew up in the church of Our Lady Of Guadalupe and Las Posadas was definitely a whole entire pageant production there. All the kids in catechism were assigned a role every year, parents made elaborate costumes, it was really the only fun thing about catechism. I got to play the angel that carried Jesus to Mary and Joseph one year. Quite the honor. Afterwards there would be tamales, chocolate, pan dulce, champurrado, it was great.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday, Maribel!!! Let us know how the tamale making goes! Sending all of my love. 💕
Nothing compared to how our family used to celebrate. I love how you took me right back to the best Christmas memories, thank you for this, I’ll have to take this joy and make Tias rainbow jello! 😘
I love a good tamale anytime. I'm neither Catholic or Hispanic but grew up eating a lot of "Tex-Mex".
Yesterday I went to San Antonio and stood in line for over an hour and a half for tamales at Delia's which seems to have a cult-like following. I buy frozen for gifts and hot to eat as soon as I get home. Yum!
Ooo! Are Tex-Mex tamales different somehow than plain ol' Mexican/Cali tamales?? :)
Oh, a good tamale can put a smile on any grump's face, methinks. When I found out Trader Joe's sells tamales and they turned out to be not half bad, I looked at my husband and said: "This is going to be a problem." lol

Ahh, thank you prima!!! ❤️🔥
It was great fun turning back the clock to such good times. I miss it all.
Thank you for reading, and subscribing! And good luck with that jello recipe!! 🤗🤗🤗
Well, they look like the ones in your photo. Maybe there are regional differences in the variety of fillings and seasonings used. ?
When I heat some up later tonight I should make a photo.
Google Delia's Tamales in San Antonio TX, they have photos and if you hurry they ship nationwide.
I've never had Trader Joe's so I can't compare.
