Unique Pumpkin Treat: Pumpkin tamales

We can’t put it any better thanAndrew C., “Attention to all the pumpkin spice and sweater weather lovers out there, Tucson Tamale has a seasonal vegan pumpkin tamale. It’s basically an incognito pumpkin spice latte but made into masa and wrapped in a corn husk (the sweater). In masa form, the aroma and taste reminds me of pumpkin bread. It will have you saying “it’s fall y’all” before your last bite.” Important note: They ship nationally and these tamales are vegan!
