About

Tamales are created by steaming corn masa inside of leaves (either corn husks or banana leaves). The way the masa is seasoned, whether it’s precooked or left raw, and the fillings and flavors that are added vary widely by region. Variations are found throughout all of Latin America.

Tamaladas are gatherings at which tamales are made and eaten. Tamales are labor-intensive, and the work of wrapping each one goes so much faster with additional hands that families and friends typically gather together and make them in large batches.
