How To Make Tamales
Gimme Some Oven I Ali Martin
These tamales are delicious and surprisingly easy to make. A traditional tamale has a steamed corn husk on the outside, filled with a corn based dough wrapped around a filling of your choice. Traditional fillings include meat or cheese and beans, but feel free to add veggies or whatever toppings you desire. I chose to mix green enchilada sauce with shredded chicken for my filling. I also added some guacamole and pico de Gallo on top.
Here are some fun facts about tamales!
- The word tamale, or tamal in Spanish, comes from the Aztec word of the Nahuatl language, tamalli, which means “wrapped food.”
2. Tamales were a big part of the Aztec and Mayan culture. They even had tamale-eating festivals for the god of corn.
3. In Mexico, tamales are served every time of day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
