After returning from a trip and having absolutely nothing to eat in the fridge, I am even more happy and grateful that Amy’s Kitchen had sent me a sample of their new roasted vegetables tamale to try. I love tamales so I was really looking-forward to trying it.
The first thing I noticed about Amy’s tamale is its flattened, somewhat uniform shape. Which is ok, to me it looks very Amy-ish, it reminds me of some of their other products like the burritos and wraps. But most importantly, it tastes good.
As you can see from the photo, the tamale doesn’t have a ton of corn masa. I’ve had some tamales where it was all masa and just a tiny bit of filling. Amy’s seems to have struck a good balance between the two.
The black beans were also very good. I’m not a big fan of beans (a tiny part of me wished it was rice instead of beans) but I ate every last one of them. Amy’s definitely knows their way around beans.
Bottom line, I would eat it again if I can find it. I haven’t seen it at any store around here yet but maybe because it’s new.
