Mexican Moms Try CANNED Tamales!

[@MamahChannel]

Would you ever try any of these tamales? 😮

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Yep. But homemade Will always be Best ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Jackelin_vas2023]

Maybe? Handmade tamales are the best. My types that I like • pork tamales (not too spicy) • chicken tamales • just plain tamales 🫔

My husband likes those nasty canned tamales he has to wait til I'm gone to eat the cause I can't stomach the smell or look of them!!

As a Mexican I am privileged to have grown up with fresh tamales. Just the best tamales in the world. Two Mexican grandmas, and a bunch of aunts that all made tamales. Not to mention my father’s job was in Los Angeles, so access to the best Mexican bakery that made the best tamales in California. Not even subjective, just factually the best. With that out of the way… I have a dirty little secret. I love the cheap tamales that come in the white plastic wrapping! *XLNT* beef tamales they’re called. No texture, kinda mushy… but pure bliss. Especially when paired with scrambled eggs. Forget about it. Edit: OMG they tried it! I made the comment before I finished the video! I’m dead… LoL

I was surprised at how many mentioned a few of the tamales were too salty. I have some XLNT frozen chicken tamales, but they cook up dry in the oven, because my steamer has gone AWOL and my microwave is dead. In fact, I found this page by Googling whether I could cook the tamales in my electric rice steamer! I used to love Garibaldi turkey tamales, but I can’t find them anymore.🙁

[@tom_something]

I'm not terribly surprised that at least two people reported a strong cumin taste from Hormel's canned offering. I haven't tried their tamales, but when I was growing up, chili meant Hormel canned chili. At the time, I didn't know what cumin was. But when I started learning to cook, I quickly identified cumin as "that chili spice". I don't knock their chili. I like chili, and Hormel was the first chili I ever tasted. It's just that they do seem to be quite enamored with that spice. Cumin is a common spice in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, but I think Hormel uses more cumin in their canned chili products than Taco Bell uses in their ground beef. It's... if I say it's "a lot", that might be too judgmental, especially for foods I grew up on. So I'll instead go with "certainly there". So if they say "in chili sauce" on the label for their canned tamales, I'm not surprised that "chili" implies "certainly there" quantities of cumin.

Tamales in a jar (can) is Mexican food. When slavery ended, there was an influx of Mexicans going to Mississippi to work. They are the ones who created the jar tamales (also called hot tamales.) Mexico is very regional. It’s like the US. A New Yorker will say any non New York pizza is not real pizza.

My grandma was a Spanish-Mexican but she never made us tamales. My dad told me that grandpa used to say, "The best tasting tamales are made by a 97 year-old lady with three teeth and her own matata." There's no way these store-bought tamales would EVER pass muster with these ladies. My favorites are the Veracruz-style with the banana leaf instead of corn paper. Great flavor!

[@mauricegioseffi7623]

I knew nothing other than canned tamales, and loved them as much as I loved canned ravioli. Although I now know more about the infinite varieties of tamales, and how good they can be, I still think of Hormel beef tamales as childhood comfort food.

As a Mexican that lives in SoCal, I always think about if it’s worth the alternatives vs fresh tamales. I like tamales, but where I live they’re $18 a dozen. Just outrageous prices. And they’re on every street corner. If I had to eat something I like having the canned tamales. Whether with sunny side eggs in the morning for breakfast or chili flavor Fritos chips for lunch. I view the canned tamales as “acceptable”. They’re okay and do the job.

The Hormel tamales are okay if you don’t consider it a tamal 😂 they’re super cumin-y. I grew to like them with some bottled hot sauce. But yeah, it’s definitely not a tamal.

I line them in a pan and cover with chili and cheese and bake till hot. Heartburn city for days.

[@daleannharsh8295]

It would be fun to get into the kitchen with these women and see how they make their own tamales. I buy Xlint sometimes but usually cook them in the oven and add sauce, but I've helped make them at a friend's house when they were cooking them up for Christmas and I've eaten homemade that a coworker from Central America brought into work as a treat...hers were wrapped in banana leaves and had a totally different flavor.

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

My mom liked the tamales in a can when she was feeling under the weather! 😂 She knew how bad they were, she felt so guilty for eating such bad tamales, and we gave her hell for it. We only made tamales on holidays because they’re so much work, but still… 🤢

As a kid in the 70s we had Miguel's, a mexican restaurant, a couple blocks from our house. He would bring the neighborhood moms in and teach them traditional recipes then show them the tweaks he made to make them more middle america friendly. Later I lived in a mostly Hispanic area and impatiently waited for Sundays when the neighborhood moms would come around selling homemade tamales, enchiladas, and tacos. I think the ladies are far too kind in their ratings of these store bought tamales. Although when I was first starting out on my own I would put Hormel canned tamales in a loaf pan, dump a can of Hormel chili con carne on top with a ton of cheese and bake it up. White trash budget tamale bake 😆😆😆!

[@hannakinn]

I've lived next to the border in CA and TX and eaten real tamales in Mexico numerous times and in the states in restaurants run by Mexicans a lot. The best tamales I ever had in my life were made by my friend Lupe's mom and her aunts in Brownsville Texas at Lupe's house. I actually eat Hormel canned tamales, beef or chicken but don't even think of them as tamales. A chef friend of mine told me to cook them, chop them up and mix them with canned Spaghetti Os, the ones with no meatballs. I thought he was nuts or pranking me when he told me to try that but that combo with some cheese on top is actually weirdly tasty and has become one of my comfort foods but I don't even think of those canned tamales as tamales.

[@DavidHernandez-oc1oz]

I grew up on those things but we didn't live in a Mexican community and my mom was German and didn't make this kind of food. My dad made a few dishes (rice, quesadillas and guacamole). We were so far removed for the Mexican culture that we didn't realize those foods he made were traditional Mexican foods until we went to Mexican restaurants when we were older. We just thought it was food that my dad made up. We had the Mexican TV dinners, the little frozen tacos, the canned refried beans, chilli and tamales. I know, it's sad.

[@RedBud315]

My friends mom used to make a Mexican Pot Roast every New Years holiday that took 2 days to make. The 1st day was cooking and shredding the meat and the 2nd day finishing it with beans and cheese and other stuff. The one secret ingredient she had was the canned tamales which added the masa to the mix. Of course they got all broken up and mixed into everything so they really didn't resemble tamales any more. That's what made it the secret ingredient.

[@roberthonan3492]

I knew that canned Hormel Tamales were shite before i ever had a homemade tamale in Mexico! Now, in La Paz, BCS, MX I know where to find amazing tamales really cheap! Every night in front of the Arambro Supermercado after 8pm. Everything made from scratch, and the masa is bona fide!

But to be honest give me some normal tamales any day. Chicken pork beef the sweet ones. One f my mom's good friends used to make sweet tamales with a like Chutney of raisins and pineapple in the middle. She would tank raisins and small diced hunks of pineapple and cook Thu in a pan with some pineapple juice a bit of sugar and some cinnamon and nutmeg. She'd boil it till I I thick like the consistancy of smushed tamarind.then she would fill the masa in husks like normal and steam them. They were so good. Her grandma came up with the recipe for xmas. Which we all know that's usually the time familia gets other and stuff hundreds of tamales for days up til the xmas party. I'm a white boy but i grew up in san diego having many Hispanic friends of the family and school buddies. I've partaken in the tradition or Making tamales. i loved those days. I learned alot about cooking and lo 3d when those ladies who I couldn't understand hardly a word of what what were saying most times. But they liked m3 be a I was polite, helped out alot and kept their kids out of trouble. Or so they thought lol. I would give a left testicle to have an all you can eat tamale and carne asada feast. I miss those days. My friends sorta hated me because their aunties and grandma's sort of liked me better some times. Theyd see me so well behaved in front of them and tell the I kids or grandkids why cant you be like him. So nice and respectful lol. One grandma found out it was my 8th birthday and gifted me a st micheal pendant and n3cklace from her own jewlery box. Turns outnit belonged to her late son who died in battle when he joined the mrines in vietnam. They sent it back with his stuff. I knew then when my friend told me about it. It was a beautiful 14 karat gold necklace and pendant.she handed to me said for you mijo. then gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead. I asked my friend what's up bro? Why your grandma being so nice? He just patted me not back and sari I guess your family now If she's accepted you like that.some of the best people I've known were from sound the border. My freaking God father was mexican. My mom's best friend sinc3 childhood. He .ca out when he was 12 and his family kicked him out so my grandparents took him in unit he finished school and moved away to,Palm springs. He passed away in 96 from hiv. Mom cried her eyes out that day. so over half my life was around Hispanic folks.
