I just made these and they're delicious! I omitted the tomato, added papas and refried beans to the chorizo mix. I also added a chipotle pepper in adobe sauce to my masa mix. It's my first time and I love it..I don't really care for tamales because they're boring and bland to me, but this has lots of flavor going on. All tamales should be a little jazzed up.

Thank you very much!

Just wondering, why not instead of adding oil first just put the chorizo in and fry the pepper with the grease from the sausage??

@lazyorc

You can certainly do it that way, so go for it :)

@iLikeCookie88 good point.. I guess you have to have lots of patience to make these great dishes.. I got caught up with the worlds fast pace of cooking. Everything is done in a microwave in my world..lol

@Dan4USCTroy A lot of people find cooking relaxing, and you know that there won't be any nasty additives if you make it yourself...
