Tamales Cubanos are traditional Cuban tamales made from a seasoned mixture of fresh ground corn (rather than dried masa) combined with pork, garlic, onions, and spices, all wrapped in corn husks and steamed. Unlike their Mexican counterparts, Cuban tamales are typically softer, sweeter, and less spicy, with the pork mixed throughout the dough rather than as a separate filling. Some versions include a side of mojo sauce for dipping. Tamales have deep roots in Indigenous and Spanish colonial culinary traditions, and in Cuba, they are especially popular during family gatherings and holidays.
