Fresh Corn Tamales with Cheese & Jalapeño

I know for most, tamales are just prepared at Christmas time. But, for me, I crave tamales year round. I crave them more when the fall season arrives and the thought of tamales steaming on the stove top is all I can think about. Late last year, I experimented with using fresh corn in my sweet tamale dough. I really liked the results! For this recipe, I decided to make it savory. I had just purchased some great cheese from the cheese shop in Cuba, New York and could not think of a better way to use it.
