I Made Tamales Without Corn Masa… and You Can’t Tell the Difference! 🤯 Who says you can’t enjoy tamales during Mexican fiestas and still keep things a little lighter? 🇲🇽 Less calories, More fiber, and micronutrients than a Traditional Tamal I made these tamales my way, replacing traditional corn masa and lard with finely ground oats, nopal, and olive oil. The result honestly surprised me. The cooked masa was moist, soft, shiny, and incredibly similar in texture to traditional tamal masa made with lard. I couldn’t taste the nopal at all, and even one of my friends couldn’t tell these were made without corn masa! #tamales #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #vivamexico
