Tamales de Puerco
Pork in Red Sauce Tamales
Mexico, pork tamales are a tradition that usually involves the whole family. Soft masa, perfectly seasoned pork, and rich red sauce are all made by hand using recipes passed down through generations, then assembled and wrapped in a sustainable wrap before being steamed. And while making tamales by hand can be a long process, all you have to do to enjoy a taste of authentic Mexico is open the package, heat, and eat. Serve our Pork Tamales as an entrée or as a side dish or appetizer.
