I made my own tradition

I made some tamales for dinner tonight, alongside fresh made refried beans and some Mexican rice. The tamal has shredded, slow cooked, chicken with a homemade verde sauce and some Oaxaca cheese inside. My son came to help me make them and we sat around laughing, and sharing stories. The tradition I started a year ago or so, is that around 1-3 tamales are masa and cheese, the rest are normal. When someone gets the all masa tamal they win! Sometimes I give the winner 5 bucks, but usually it’s just a fun little game we play just to say “I won!” I actually ended up getting one of them tonight so I won!! I shared it with the kiddos though :)

P.S - My wife tied all of them, didn’t she do an awesome job!? They always looks so pretty when she does :)
