As for tamales, they are one of my favorites. But since becoming a vegetarian they are much harder to find ones I can eat. Sometimes Costco has green chile Monterey Jack tamales. Which are okay, but nothing like the ones from the trunk of a barely running car outside the dollar store.
I wonder how red chile jack fruit tamales would be.
I left nm shortly after high school and eventually ended up living in Maryland. The majority of our Mexican places in Maryland were Salvadoran, which was fine but not New Mexican food and tamales were scarce. I made them once and solo they were so labor intensive. I floated the idea to the social club where we hung out and got a decent sized group to help make them. We ended up making tamales about once a quarter. They were some of the best I have ever had.
Sorry, was not trying to imply you were limiting to a restaurant. More I was trying to further illustrate your point.
Man we need better tone marks for text language. I wasn’t mad at you, just making conversation.

Lmao that’s the truth, I’m pretty sure those trunks add taste.
