Rejoice! Tamale Season is Upon Us Once Again

Why Tamales are Synonymous with Christmas
Whether you’ve lived in the El Paso area for a few years or for your entire life, you’ve undoubtedly become aware of the increased popularity of tamales during the holiday season. These warm, delectable Mexican treats are great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a snack. They truly are unlike any other dish. Tamales stand on their own. They’re a snapshot of a past world. Just look at how they’re wrapped in corn husks or how they’re made with masa harina. It doesn’t get more Mexican than tamales. They’re easily transportable and can be warmed up quickly for a delicious meal. By why are they so closely associated with the holiday season? It might be due to the warm, fluffy nature of tamales. They’re comfort food so they’re perfect for those cold winter nights. Due to the labor-intensive process, tamales are often left for important occasions (such as Christmas).

Tamales are great in many regards but chief among them is the sheer limitlessness of their varieties, with the most common being red and green chili with chicken.
