Making Tamales With My Madre

I was born in Evanston, Illinois but have parents that were both born in Guanajuato, Mexico. Getting together for any special occasion is a big thing. And having specialty dishes is a MUST! For Christmas, New Years, Birthdays, and Weddings we either have Mole, Posole or Tamales. I sadly don't know how to make either alone. Which is why I asked my mom to help me prepare some Tamales. There are two kinds that we usually make. We can make them with banana leaves or corn leaves. Both are delicious! But we decided to make the banana ones.
