This sounds like an extremely LOW fat way of making tamales. I learned the true Mexican way of tamale making, which includes a LOT of lard. Of course, it tastes great, but I'm sure anybody's insides would be very hateful after eating just one. I will give this recipe a try since we love tamales! - 1/4/11
