An absolute highlight of my Mexican overeating were these homemade tamales, a corn dish that dates back to Aztec traditions. We had green and red tamales, and I preferred the green (pictured). The husks were grilled beforehand, giving them a blackened look and imparting a very savory flavor. Unfortunately I got too involved with eating them to take good photos of the inside of the tamale, which was teeming with salsa verde and chicken.
