This recipe was pretty good! Since it seemed extremely soupy, I didn't use all of the liquid the recipe called for and in fact cut it in half. I also only used half the can on French fried onions. I also added a tablespoon of flour to help thicken up the fluid. I also had to leave out the chipolte peppers as my DH can't tolerate anything hot & spicy. I served it with romaine lettuce, sour cream and black olives. Made for Hidden Gems tag.

Tamale is not a word. It's either Tamal or TamaleS. FYI
