I really enjoyed this but had to add a little extra salt plus hot peppers to bring it to the taste I crave, because of my health I have to watch my grease intake and salt but if I make it and have them on an occasion, I am allowed to have them, but a full blown tamale recipe for tamales would be great now my doctor recommended I do this only on occasion. I have had 3 strokes and a heart attack and quad by pass surgery but the taste was very close to the taste I have been longing for and if I can only have it on occasion then OK. I was told to pick one day in a week if I stay on diet all other days that I could have one crazy day that I could have one of anything I wanted as long as I was careful. Now careful does not mean 1 pizza (the whole thing) but one slice. Thank you for your recipe input, I think a recipe with the corn meal mix to add the authenic taste to the meat balls would be wonderful, thank you again.
