I made the cup tamales tonight and while good, once baked, the meat was dry.
I used ground beef with seasonings, a chopped onion and some tomato paste
and water. Cooked it down but it was still moist when I filled them. Baked
for about 17 min. Not overbaked based on the masa. Should I have added
more tomato? More water? Something else?

Julie, tamales have about fifteen hundred calories. And not to mention
that most women in this country are grossly obese.
Time to bring out the old salad spinner and eat smart.
