I make tamales every year for my ENTIRE family, regardless of how fattening they are. However, I've been practicing (or trying to practice) making them leaner, since my hubby's family will be dining with us this year. They are SERIOUS calorie counters and he said they would not eat them unless they were extremely healthier than your regular batch of tamales. It seems like the leaner the meat, the dryer they get, and the less tasty. I've been searching healthy tamale recipes for weeks now, and trying them out, but none of them are moist and delicious. I must be doing something wrong - or there's just no such thing as healthy tamales?

If you have tips or a recipe, please share!

And no, I'm not "not going to make them" this year. Tamales will be served!
