Answer 2

Start here. Otherwise search for key words "Mexican style tamales recipe". Good luck. One very important ingredient -- LARD. Crisco, butter, olive oil or vegetable oil will NOT substitute for LARD. That's what makes it MEXICAN, period.

I know, I grew up in the culture. Nothing is MEXICAN cooking unless the main ingredient used is LARD.
