That's how I usually do it but I'm excited about trying one on the stovetop with breakfast. Crispy masa sounds legit

You mf-er. I didn't feel good when I was home for Christmas so I didn't eat any tamales. Good thing I'll be back down in a week or two!

Lemme know, we'll get beers

Beers and tamales?

And grapefruit?

You know I'm a fan of your grapefruits!

Because of this thread, I bought some tamales at HEB (I know, but still...tamales). I pan-fried them in my cast-iron skillet, then fried some eggs, topped the tamales w egg, some shredded cheese, and a few spoonfuls of Mark's Good Stuff restaurant salsa.

My husband walked in: "Where did this come from?"

Me: "TexAgs. The people from Brownsville do it."

Congrats on the sex

Either grill or skillet is my preferred method.

Only time they are steamed is when they're fresh from Delias. Right, Swarely?

Chicken with green chili from Delias, or gtfo!

Wrong. The stuffing in real tamales is pig head.

My wife weighs 120 pounds and from Brownsville. She eats tamales all the time but just not a dozen at a sitting. 2 to 3 only.

Not all from Brownsville are fatties.

I didn't say they weighed 400lbs. I said in response to someone else saying they did, that's a lot of menudo

Well yea that is a lot of cow intestine

Most Brownsville people are fatties. Better? Pan frying tamales, topping them with a fried egg and cheese is a good way to get there. All I was saying.

Well considering you don't like chicken, I thought the joke was obvious. I guess it wasn't

No, I got the joke, I just felt compelled to prevent the ignorant masses from believing it's acceptable to put chicken in tamales. Those ignorant fools will substitute chicken in most anything and some standards simply must be maintained.

what if a tia is making them with chicken? is it still ignorant to substitute or does the ignorance then fall to you?

all that means is the tia wasn't raised right
