I'm not a huge fan of tamales, but this dish was surprisingly good. The cornbread crust was delicious and the filling was flavorful.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I've made this recipe several times now and it always turns out perfect. The filling is flavorful and moist, and the cornbread crust is crispy and golden brown. It's a great dish for a weeknight meal or a potluck.
