BBQ Tamale recipe. First the brisket is marinated for 8 hours then it is smoked for 6 hours in the barbque pit after it is tightly wrapped in aluminum foil with the temperature at 250 so that it can cook and absorb its juices and flavor to get that awsome tender taste, so when the meat is cooked you can cut it with a fork instead of a kinfe,so that the meat almost melts in your mouth. the other meats used in the differant kinds of tamales are also seasoned to give that awsome taste you expect from a tamale so click on the links to your right and see whats cooking in the kitchen. mmmm don't wait too long they are ready.
