Tamale Meal Ideas

Need some ideas on how to prep your tamales or meal ideas for the whole family. We have just the post for you.

Just so everyone knows the Tamales are already fully cooked and frozen right after they cool to keep their freshness. We usually will take one dozen out of the freezer and it will stay good in the fridge for at least a week. But if yours is still frozen when you get home you can put them straight in the freezer and then take out what you need to make your meal.

Heating them up-- you can do it multiple ways

1. Simply place how many tamales you want into a sandwich bag with the husks on and heat in the microwave for 1-2 mins or until heated all the way through. Then remove from husk and serve
2. You can also place them in the oven until desired temperature 
3. You can fry them in a frying pan to desired heat (remove husk before heating)

Meal Ideas

Breakfast

1. Simply heat them up, remove husk smother with Enchilada sauce (you can get this at any store down the Hispanic food aisle or you can make your own), Top with cheese.Then serve with fired eggs and enjoy

Lunch/Dinner

1. Heat up, Remove husk, smother with Enchilada sauce or Chili Verde top with cheese and any other toppings you might desire. examples- onions, jalapenos, sour cream, gacamole or salsa. Serve with Rice and beans
