Cheese & Green Chile Tamales
"Created in Mesoamerica as an easily portable food to be used for hunting trips, large group travel, and a food source for armies, the tamale was considered sacred; a food of the gods. While we don’t use our Cheese & Green Chile Tamales to feed militaries or sponsor hunting trips, we do believe we have created a tasty tamale fit for the gods—or at least the average shopper. Melty Monterey Jack cheese, spicy green chiles, and red chile purée are tucked inside flavorful corn masa, and hand-wrapped in corn husks. We seal and freeze each package of two Cheese & Green Chile Tamales directly after preparation so you can enjoy the rich and savory corn masa flavors in just 3-4 minutes in the microwave, or, for a slower steam, on the stove in 20-30 minutes!"
