Tamales have been served in Latin American since pre-Hispanic times.\u00a0 Tamales are made with Masa or Tamale dough made from corn. The tamale corn dough is easy to find in any Latin\u00a0grocery store or your local neighbourhood store in the Latin foods section. Don’t forget to pick up some tomatillos to make green salsa<\/a> along with your chicken tamales recipe.<\/p>\n

Tamales can be traditionally eaten at any time of day – even breakfast!\u00a0 They made an easy meal, already packed to go and are filling for many hours. Our recipe is made with leftover chicken and a fresh homemade tomato sauce creating little bundles of yumminess! You can also change the chicken for pork or turkey. Try a few variations until you find your favourite.<\/p>\n
