tamale

For instance, tamales, which I defined earlier, are not always cooked in corn husks—sometimes banana leaves are used instead.

Consider how traditional food recipes, say tamales, have maintained a stable core definition over generations—corn-based dough cooked in corn husks.

After all of that work, it’s finally time to assemble the tamales.

Beltrán Leyva, a gourmand, was savoring his tamale with its filling of roasted corn.

But the narrow streets of the Mexican quarter with their chili and tamale stands interested them.

He made Henrietta Vance shout with laughter by pretending that the olive in his tamale was a green hen's egg.

Pem musingly nursed her chin,–and with it a wildfire interest in the “hot tamale.”

But I always felt that I'd rather be provincial hot-tamale than soup without seasoning.

This tamale mixture is fine for stuffing green mango peppers.
