MAKE THESE NOW!!! Tons of flavor, not difficult, a fantastic option for a meatless monday meal. I loved the way the spice of the chipotle played off the mild sweetness of the masa and the briny, saltiness of the olives and capers. Get a helper if you want to cut the prep time down and make assembly easier.

Excellent Tamales! I had just roasted some butternut squash and wanted to do something different. I followed the recipe fairly closely. I even used the capers (of which I am not a fan. I made a double batch and I think I made about 30+ tamales. I shared these with many friends and everyone said they were the best tamales they have ever had! WOW, what a compliment. I took my time preparing this and enjoyed the process. Froze a few, then thawed and re-steamed them and they were perfect. I paired this with a homemade salsa and a simple black bean soup one night then a southwest chopped salad another night.
Fantastic!!! Look forward to making them again.

Deliciously different tamales. The squash keeps the masa very moist. Easy if you do it in steps. Doubled the recipe and froze half. The rest are going to a potluck at work. Thanks for a great recipe.

When i first read the recips i didn't notice the save the butternut squash from the outer to the filling (cause i made the filling the day before and it was too liquidy so i added a mashed sweet potato. Which worked well and i added the chopped butternut squash the next day. The dought was smooth and perfect. What a great way to get more squash for the holidays :

EXCELLENT!! Time consuming but worth it! I made a double batch so I could freeze some and have them at a later date.

the masa for these tamales are great! These are pretty spicy tamales even for my taste and I am hispanic! The lavors were good, loved the raisins ! I still felt as if something was missing. I think I will try using the same flavors and slow cooking them with beef next time.

I made these tamales for a vegetarian friend and they are THE BEST we have both ever had. Absolutely worth the time and ingredients. The Masa is the most flavorful masa anyone has tried. Rave reviews each time I've served them. Since, I've made them several times, always in double batches that I freeze!

These tamales are awesome! The comment right before this said that the recipe states an hour required. But it actually says an hour and a half prep time, and an hour cook time.
