The tamales were a bit dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would probably add more liquid to the tamale batter next time.

These tamales were easy to make and so tasty! I especially loved the addition of the corn kernels. I will be making these again soon.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! The tamales were moist and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I will definitely be making this again.
