1/4 cup butter

1 red pepper, finely chopped

1 cup yellow cornmeal

5 fresh basil leaves, chopped

3 eggs, beaten

Let's Make It

Heat grill to medium heat.

Remove corn from husks, reserving husks. Cut corn from cobs; place in blender. Blend until smooth.

Melt butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions and peppers; cook and stir 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Stir in corn, cornmeal and basil; cook 5 min. or until mixture forms dough, stirring constantly. Cool 5 min. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Spread 1/4 cup corn mixture down center of each of 20 husks to within 2 inches of top. Fold over sides and top end of each husk to enclose filling.

Grill 15 min. or until filling is heated through, turning after 8 min. Cool slightly before serving.

Kitchen Tips

Tip 2

Make Ahead

Tamales can be assembled, wrapped tightly in foil and stored in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Or, store in the freezer up to 6 months; thaw in refrigerator before grilling. Remove tamales from foil before grilling as directed.

Tip 3

Assembling Tamales

If corn husks are small or narrow, use 2 husks, overlapping them slightly, before filling as directed.
