Really these things are addictive. Used Foams ingredients for the Masa,and a green chili Enchilada Sauce.

Foams http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/176738/pulled-pork-tamales-foamheart

A few pic my meat mix was a little wet 


Dough was easier this time a little moister


Rolled them


Steamed again 1 hr 10 min.


Plated you can see they all do not come out perfect


Money shot

Gary Thanks for the point, we have just started eating these new to us so plain is working now.
 
Here you go 

Chile Gravy  
1 1/2 cups white onion, roughly chopped  
5 garlic cloves  
2/3 cup vegetable oil  
2/3 cup flour  
2 cups beef broth (fresh, canned, or boxed)  
3 tablespoons chile powder (such as McCormick or bulk red chile powder)  
2 teaspoons salt  
1 teaspoon cumin  
1/8 teaspoon cayenne  
1 teaspoon ground black pepper


Combine onion and garlic in a blender and purée on high for about one minute or until smooth.

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. Lower heat, add flour, and stir continuously until the roux turns a light golden brown.

Heat beef broth and 2 cups water over low heat in a small saucepan or in a microwave oven. Combine all spices and add to flour mixture along with broth and ground beef and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes or until mixture is the consistency of gravy. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before using. Makes about 5 cups.
 
I loves me some tamales for sure, but I have to agree that they don't look right.  I highly suggest you send them to me for further inspection to ensure that they are edible.

I promise to return any that pass muster!

I'll send you my address if there are any left.

Gary Thanks for the sauce recipe 
 
Tamales MUST have that red grease on the husk when you unwrap them. It's the law .i know i read that somewhere. LOL
