My ex boyfriend had a roommate whose wife made wonderful Oaxacan tamales. They were pretty fat/big in size, the Masa was moist and thick...the filling consisted of chicken (on or off the bone) or pork with nopales (or green beans) in a semi-thick red/orange sauce. The sauce was a little spicy, but not overly hot in flavor. If I remember correctly, she wrapped them in banana leaves as apposed to the traditional corn husks (or she doubled up on the corn husks...) I am looking for information on the sauce itself (it was made from scratch). Anyone have links/ideas/reciepes for this style of Oaxacan tamales? I can't go and ask her because my ex and I havent spoken in over 6 months... I have seen her make these so I have a couple of ideas to get me started, but I have been craving them so bad. Otherwise, anyone know where i can find them in Milwaukee WI? I have been to the Oaxaca Grille, but never seen them on the menu, besides, I prefer to cook them myself.
