The tamales could have stood alone but the best part about them were the two sauces that my dad made. He made a red & green sauce.
The red sauce was his version of enchilada sauce, because I am not a huge fan of enchilada sauce, I like to think of it as mole sauce( with no cocoa).
The green sauce was a combination of green chiles+poblano peppers.
