thanks

I am open to cheating somehow, I could even eat them from a can, but it must be possible!

I haven't even been able to find a proper version in a restaurant and I've been hankering after them for years.

they are greasy spicy fattening stodge really

but great comfort food, I like them filled with beans and cheese but you can get beef, chicken etc - it's a sort of dough, filled as above, then wrapped in corn husks and steamed

the canned ones are really vile so why I sometimes wake up drooling over them is anyone's guess Blush
