Is there anything more classic than a traditional Mexican tamales recipe during the Holidays? I'm not Mexican but even I know the long-held tradition of a family getting together on Noche Buena and New Year's Eve to make a huge batch of tamales to give out to friends and neighbors as gifts.
It is this sharing tradition that has always touched me during the holidays and it is the #1 reason why I wanted to learn how to make tamales this year. It always seemed like a very long, complicated process. Well, one thing I've learned is that it definitely IS but sharing the time together with family makes it all the more special.
