Learn to make traditional Tamales for this holiday season. Tamales are a traditional food from Mexico that are made from masa (cornmeal dough), usually containing meat that’s steamed in either a corn husk, banana or corn leaf.
The tamale (tamal in Spanish) can be traced back to as early as 5000 BC, when they were eaten as a nutritious and portable food by Aztec and Incan warriors.
Tamales were one of the first food staples enjoyed by the Spanish Conquistadors when they first arrived in Mexico. Today, the tamale has evolved into a mouth-watering holiday treat.
The Tamale Workshop will be held on Dec.1, in the hall of the St. Isidore Historical Plaza, 10961 Reagan Street, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The fee for this fun filled day is $60 per person. By making a reservation today, you will be able to create a dozen of your own gourmet tamales to take home, a Christmas treat to be shared with family and friends.
