BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — In round two of the challenge, the morning team tasted Erica Valencia's family recipe.

She shared a spicy pork tamale with red sauce, chicken with green sauce, cheese and jalapeno and sweet options as well.

She and her family serve tamales year-round at Grandma's Tamales here in Bakersfield.

You can order her tamales through her Facebook group Spears Tamales.

The week leading up to Christmas, the morning team will introduce special tamale recipes on our 6 a.m. newscast.
