This Amy’s Tamale Verde tasted like a pretty solid snack as far as I was concerned. The spicy rice was tasty without the spiciness being too over-bearing. Comparing the cooked food to the picture on the box:
The rice looked similar but the tamale itself kind of missed the boat. The sauce, as you can see, was coagulated to the sides of it instead of on top like it was supposed to be in the picture. It also wasn’t quite as voluminous as it could have been. The beans were a bit mushy, but they were also frozen so why am I complaining?
The corn had a slightly sweet taste, I’ll look forward to seeing it later.
While I’m normally used to beef or chicken tamales, these are a great non-meat alternative.
