Get your holiday tamales here!

If you are looking for a tasty way to contribute to charity, consider buying a few dozen tamales from La Iglesia Evangelica Cristiana Espirituales in North Denver. 

About once a month or so, parishioners get together and cook up batches of tamales they sell at $10.00 a dozen.  They have pork, beef and, yes, cheese.  For me, they even put jalapenos in my cheese tamales.  I bought six dozen and froze most of them.  They keep nicely in the freezer for a few months. 

I found the tamales to be good, but not as good as the tamales at La Casita just a few blocks away.  Nonetheless, they are bigger, less expensive and they do support charity.  Talk about fresh!  I know mine were made that day because I was in the kitchen helping Francisco pull them out of the pot!  When you get them that fresh, I suggest you let them sit for a day or two so that all of the distinct flavors can meld nicely. 

 If you like tamales, or you like to have tamales at your holiday celebrations, consider the $10 a dozen tamales at this church.  God helps those who help themselves, and this is a great way for the church to make its own money.  All they need is a little help from you.
