Tamale Cakes with Avocado Cream Sauce

Yum

January 4, 2017 by Debitalks Leave a Comment

There is a little Mexican restaurant that Don and I go to whenever we go to see his mom. It is a tiny place, maybe with 10 booths, all brightly colored and decorated. What I love about it, it has the best food. Oh, it is so good. Since it is about 45 minutes from our house, we don’t get to go there as often as we would like.

Every time we go, I always get their empanadas but I also try to get something new. I am slowly working my way through their menu. On one of my last trips, I finally trip tamales. Don and I split one, and then ordered 2 more.

This tamale recipe is similar to the restaurants but it isn’t a traditional tamale. It is easier to make at home and my family seems to like it better.
