Tamales is a traditional Mexican dish made from masa, a dough made from corn, which is wrapped around a filling of meats, cheeses, or vegetables, and steamed in corn husks. Originating from Mesoamerica, tamales have a rich history and are often enjoyed during celebrations and holidays. While they are a delightful treat, tamales can be high in calories and fat depending on their fillings. However, when filled with lean meats and vegetables, they can be a wholesome option, packed with protein and nutrients. Bursting with flavor, tamales offer a taste of culture in every bite!
