In reply to Ford. Yes, the beans will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 7 days. It is not necessary, but it is a good idea to add a little water when reheating if you find that the beans are too dry to spread. Let me know how they turn out.

Hi! If I wanted to make the beans on a Thursday & tamales on a Friday, would that work? Should I add some water when I reheat the beans to reconstitute? if you have any tips, please let me know, thank you!

These are excellent…and vegan. I used a batch of fire roasted green anaheims that I had in the freezer to make the chile paste. They will be my new standard for fall tamale making!

Hi, Nancy. The beans in the picture are at the beginning stage of cooking. As they cook and the liquid evaporates, the beans will become more solid and spreadable.
Good luck!

Hi, I love this recipe. Different from most tamales that I’ve had. What I am having a hard time with is: The beans look very soupy. How does that work in the tamales? e.g. not spilling out? I wish there was a tutorial. I am an insecure cook. 🙂 Meaning not very experienced.
