About Tamales
Usually tamales are made from a mixture of corn dough (masa) and a filling wrapped in a banana leaf or corn husk and then steamed. The dough becomes firmer when it is steamed. Make sure to unwrap your tamale entirely before enjoying and eating it on the go. Tamale fillings include chicken or pork. Tamales can also be filled with vegetables including potatoes, corn, peppers or carrot. Some are filled with cheeses, dried fruits and olives. If you want to taste some amazing Tamales head over to the 3rd Annual New Orleans Tamale Festival.
