Tamales
Masa wrapped around or alongside a filling, enclosed in a corn husk, banana leaf or other wrapper and steamed. Fillings vary enormously by region and can include pork or chicken in chile sauce, cheese and rajas, beans, vegetables, fruit and sweet preparations. The singular Spanish form is tamal, although "tamale" is common in English. Tamales are sold individually and by the dozen and are particularly prominent during holidays and celebrations.
Typical price: $7.99
