If the tamales are not packaged well, they may get freezer burn and not have as good of a texture. Put your homemade tamales in the freezer, where they can be stored for up to six months.

This will typically take just two to three hours for a few tamales, but can take a day for a larger container of frozen tamales. Leave the husks on the tamales if you are going to reheat them by steaming them.
