thanks for sharing the recipe; doesn't sounds strange at all. i've never cooked with tamales. if i can find it while grocery shopping this weekend, i might just have to try this one out too. as for the flank steak, how thin should i pound it? flank is already cut relatively thin to begin with.
The canned tamales are getting more difficult to find. Only one of the four grocery chains in my area carry them...as well as super Walmarts. As to pounding the flank steak, you use the aggressive side of the mallet. The object is to break down the meat a little but also so that it becomes rollable. Without pounding it, it isn't very easy to roll together. Enjoy
