I make a mole' to go with mine. I like to serve them with refrieds and
spanish rice and a nice green salad. Personally, I'd like to eat just about
3 or 4 heck 5 tamales all by themselves, but they are so freaking time
consuming to make that I'll serve them with rice and beans to cut down the
number of tamales needed in one sitting.
