A pre-Columbian food dating back at least 8,000 years, tamales are masa dough filled with meat, cheese, or sweet ingredients, wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves, and steamed to perfection. Each Mexican region has its own distinctive style, from the red chile pork tamales of the centre to Oaxaca's mole-filled black tamales.
