Looks and sounds awesome. At Jasper Ranch, Walter and Doug feed us with tamales. If I recall correctly I ate six vege tamales last August. Green chili, summer squash, and Moteray Jack cheese.
I have reused the husks. I rinsed them then dried them but then I doubled up on them when I made the next batch of tamales. I did this when I ran out of husks one day. Probably would only work if you used them right away as I did.
I just finished off the last of my Costa Rican Christmas Tamales. My sister in law is from Costa Rica and they make a batch every year. Theirs are wrapped in banana leaves. Hers are vegetarian too.
@davidsquall351 LOL! Go over there, David, and ask them what's taking so long. :) What do they put in theirs? Some meat, I would assume, and maybe sharp cheddar cheese?
You can reuse them, but it's a pain.

Yum! A little shredded beef would be a nice finishing touch. LOL
Somehow I don't see those corn husks as being dishwasher safe I think once might be their limit....

@mobiltec I bought the masa flour at Stater Brothers and used vegetable shortening, baking powder, and water for the dough. :)
