Type: Cooked Tamales
The famous tamales are brought to you by Tonantzin! Do you know its origins? Tamal means "wrapped" and it comes from de náhuatl "tamalli". Its origin doesn't have a particular place, but it's very associated with Mexico since it's the country which has more varieties of it. ¡Son la identidad de México!
However, many Latin American countries have discussed the real origin of the tamal. But there's not enough evidence to conclude something in particular.
Anyways ─and also good news for those who love tamales─, there're different versions of them, depending on the country, where their name is changed. If we're honest, it's very common to find them in all those Central American countries where corn is very important in their diet, like Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia. ¡Todo el power latinoamericano unido por los tamales!
It can be wrapped by the same corn leaf, but it's common to find some others which are wrapped with banana leaves and even foil. The filling can be sweet ─mermelada, pasitas, fruits, nuts, or just sugar─, or salted ─meat, veggies, or chile. Ándale que hay tamales for everyone.
The Mild Chicken Tamales that Tonantzin brings to you, are the best choice for your parties, birthdays, and Holidays. They're perfectly made, flavored, and with a huge softness that will make you fall in love with them, like those tamales you used to eat at home or donde la abuelita, which everyone loves!
