What are you and ur fams favorite mexican recipes?! Desperate need of recipes!?
cant really provide you with a recipe because this is just 1 of those things you do from memory and how it looks as you're making it but here is somone else's http://www.cooking-mexican-recipes.com/tamales-recipe.html
dont use beef or chicken if at all possible as pork tastes so much better, get a slab of pork loin and make a BIG batch of them(trust me, they will go fast and you will still want more)
damn, now i want some....thanks....
*grumbles* it isnt a fast process to make a proper tamale but it is damn worth it..

Enchiladas, Albondigas, sopa de fideo, chicken mole, tacos, tostadas, molletes (I don't know how to spell that one,pronounced Moy-yet-tays) Email me and I'll write out recipes for you. I don't have written down recipes, I just make them from memory of what my grandma taught me! You can email me by clicking on my icon I think, and then it says there what to click on for email! Put Mexican recipes in the subject if you do!
My fave place to go for recipes is the Food Network Show "Good Eats" Episode Guide:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/episode_archive/0,1904,FOOD_32078_177,00.html
I like it so much because when I find something I want to try, I can go to YouTube and search "Good Eats + Episode Name" and watch the episode while I have the recipe in front of me... I've even taken my laptop into the kitchen and watched the episode as I cooked.
Episodes with a "Mexican" spin:
? Chile's Angels
http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/chiles-angles/index.html
Alton investigates the fruity heat of chiles and that ubiquitous condiment: salsa. Ponder the human tongue, the power of capsaicin, and learn to tame the burn of the only food registered as a weapon with the FDA.
? TORT(illa) Reform
http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/tortilla-reform/index.html
The world may not be flat, but thanks to the tortilla we can enjoy almost anything edible with a quick fold, flip or wrap. Why is it then that so few cooks make their own tortillas at home? Alton hopes to reverse the trend by introducing the average gringo to the virtues of the flattest of flatbreads and the magic of an ancient ingredient called maize.
? Tamale Never Dies
http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/tamale-never-dies/index.html
Quite possibly the original convenience food, tamales are ancient and delicious. Join host Alton Brown on an historical and tasty exploration of these tempting treats.
? American Classics VIII: Tacos
http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/american-classics-viii-tacos/index.html
They may have been born in Mexico but today the taco is a concept as "American" as apple pie. Host Alton Brown seeks to refurbish 2 particularly tarnished variations on the theme.
? Casserole Over
http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/casserole-over/index.html
When a Sunday drive goes bad, host Alton Brown finds himself pushing the limits of his casserole knowledge to free his dog from angry church ladies.
? The Big Chili
http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/the-big-chili/index.html
Join Host and cowpoke Gerald P Hobbs (Alton Brown) and his sidekick Rusty as they rustle up a good, honest bowl of red. Along the way, they'll ponder the chili mythology, grind up their own chili powder (that's chili with an "i") and do some serious work under pressure.
