Great food for those who hate to cook, lack experience or time, or just like easy stuff

This is a meal for one, though it could easily be multiplied.

I call it OMG Awesome Amped up Hormel tamales.

I've made this with both their beef and chicken tamales. Each is delicious. They have a hot and spicy version I will probably not try. I must confess these tamales have been a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time straight out of the can. The thing is I actually don't like any restaurant or homemade tamales that I have ever had, but I love these.

This is made in the microwave on a plate - no dirty pans.
Slice 2 TB onions onto a plate. Pour about 1/4 cup chili sauce out of the can over the onions. Unwrap three tamales and put them on top of the onions. Top with your favorite melty cheese. Nuke for about 2 minutes. When you take them out, BURY them in shredded lettuce (a cup or more.) top with chopped tomatoes and green onions, and some more of the chili out of the can. Eat and enjoy.
The calories may vary a little depending at the cheese you use. The chicken version is about 209 calories for the whole plate full of food, and the beef version is about 276 calories,
Smooches,
Keri
