This is my second time making tamales. The first time, I called my grandmother to tell her and she was actually worried about my livelihood. Why? Tamales are a big deal. They aren’t just something one puts together like a burrito or a sandwich. Real tamales take all day to make and are shared amongst the entire family. However, this is different. This is the amateur’s guide to easy tamales— tamales that don’t take all day—tamales that are meant to just be shared between two people over a handful of days. <br />
