Tamales are made from masa (corn dough) filled with meats, cheese, vegetables, or chili sauces, wrapped in corn husks and steamed until firm. Originating from Mesoamerica, with deep roots in pre-Columbian Mexico, tamales are prepared in large batches for celebrations like Christmas, Día de los Muertos, and family gatherings. Variations exist across Mexico and Latin America, each with unique fillings and wrapping styles. They are typically served warm, with salsas, crema, or as part of breakfast and festive meals.
