Tamales are a traditional Mesoamerican dish made from masa (corn dough) that is filled with various ingredients, such as meat, cheese, vegetables, or fruit. The masa is then wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves and steamed. Tamales can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and are a popular street food in many Latin American countries.
There are many different ways to eat a tamale. Some people prefer to eat them plain, while others like to add toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Tamales can also be used as an ingredient in other dishes, such as tamale pie or tamale soup.
