Are there healthy tamales or vegetarian tamales?

Texas Tamales are only 60-90 calories and are made gluten-free and lard-free. Texas Tamale Company uses soy-based oils instead of lard or vegetable shortenings to make them a healthier option. A traditional tamale is typically 250-300 calories and would be filled with chicken, beef or pork. That tradition has been expanded to offer a healthier choice for individuals that are vegetarian. We now offer spinach cheese and black bean tamales to satisfy our vegetarian tamale customers looking for a meatless alternative to authentic Mexican tamales.
