Beef Tamale
A tamale is a traditional Mexican dish consisting of seasoned ground beef enclosed in masa (corn dough), all wrapped and steamed in a corn husk. The masa exterior provides a tender, slightly sweet corn flavor that complements the savory, spiced beef filling, while the cooking process creates a uniquely moist yet firm texture. Though served in its corn husk wrapper, the husk itself is removed before eating, with the finished tamale offering a satisfying combination of complex carbohydrates and protein.
