CedarLane Gluten Free Sweet Corn Tamales (Review from a Raving Fan)

June 17, 2015 By Joi Sigers

I may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. This costs you absolutely no extra money (of course), it simply allows me to maintain the lifestyle my cats are accustomed to!

Naturally Gluten Free: CedarLane Sweet Corn Tamales! 

Granted, when it comes to my food reviews on Get Cooking, I tend to get carried away. The more I like something, the more apt I am to turn into a raving, adjective hurling foodie right before your eyes.

You might want to duck because the flying adjectives are about to take flight.

A few nights ago, I was recovering from a NASTY respiratory infection and just didn’t want to cook. Believe me, I have to be feeling miserable to not want to cook.. and I was.

I also didn’t want to get gussied up and go out to eat and I couldn’t think of anything that sounded particularly good for my husband to pick up and bring home. Besides, when you have to eat gluten free, those options are grossly limited.

He stopped by Kroger and picked up a few frozen meals in the Gluten free section. I’d made up a huge salad and we figured we just needed a little something to go along with them.

One of the boxes he grabbed is shown here: CedarLane Sweet Corn Tamales, which are naturally gluten free. I had’t’ been this intrigued by anything in a long time, so I pulled myself together enough to fix them. These guys can be cooked in the microwave or steamed and I chose to nuke them because it was faster and easier.

Fortunately for this weakling dosed up on antibiotics, the process was painless and simple.

  1. You take the tamales out of their plastic wrappers.
  2. Wrap the tamales in damp paper towels.
  3. Microwave for the specified time.
  4. Remove the paper towels and take the tamales out of their corn shucks.
  5. Plate them and add some salsa verde (optional, but it’s ridiculously delicious).
  6. Eat them and wonder how you ever lived without them.

I topped ours with Herdez Salsa Verde, but any good Salsa Verde will suffice. There’s just something extra magical about the combination of these sweet corn tamales and the Salsa Verde.  Can you say match made in Heaven?

One of my favorite restaurants, years ago, was Chi Chi’s. They had these insanely delicious little corn cakes. The flavor from these tamales remind me a LOT of Chi Chi’s corn cakes… except they’re even better.

I 100 percent suggest you head on out and see if your favorite grocery store has these beauties. They’ll be in the freezer section, probably near the other gluten free meals.  Case the entire store until you find them…. then, whatever you do… do not buy just one box!
