Real Homemade Tamales

These tamales are delicious! I have been looking for a good tamales recipe for years. One day I went to the international market and stood in the Mexican aisle until a woman with a full cart came by. I just asked her if she knew how to make tamales. This is her recipe with a few additions from me! This is great served with refried beans and a salad.
