In this hands on cooking class, students will keep alive the tradition of making tamales by learning how to prepare masa, a filling, and how to fill and fold using corn husks as wrappers. Participants will take home tamales to share with family members.
Making tamales is a holiday tradition where families come together and create food memories. Tamal or tamalli in Nahuatl, is a beautiful bundle of corn masa filled with many diverse types of ingredients and vary from size and shape depending on the Mexican State. Tamales are eaten in times of celebration and are a way to pay homage to ancestors.
