      I have never heard of this but it sounds like it would be great with the queso in there.

      Do you soak the dried corn husks in some water? If so, for how long?

      Thanks for the time you spend on this blog. I was a missionary in several cities in Colombia for 9 months. I have sweet memories of Colombia and her people.

      Making this as a side for labor day. Can I use canned hominy? How do you cook it? To which consistency? Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! Looking forward to try it.
