Tucson Foods Individually Wrapped Red Chile and Pork Tamale 5 oz. - 8/Case

Details

Expand your menu's global offerings with this Tucson Foods individually wrapped red chile and pork tamale! A beloved staple in Latin American cuisine, tamales are a comfort food that consist of a savory filling, like meat and chiles, that is surrounded by masa, or corn dough, and then wrapped in a corn husk and steamed. Dating back to pre-Columbian times, tamales have been feeding the masses for centuries and are a time-honored tradition during the holidays. This dairy-free tamale features a hearty filling consisting of a mix of juicy, tender pieces of hormone- and antibiotic-free pork and red chiles. The filling is enveloped in a layer of seasoned white corn masa and hand-rolled in a traditional corn husk for an authentic taste and presentation. For easier digestion and enhanced nutritional value, the corn has undergone nixtamalization, a traditional Mesoamerican process that involves cooking and steeping the corn in an alkaline solution, such as lime.

This tamale is individually wrapped in a sanitary, plastic package that keeps the product fresh and makes it ideal for serving in grab-and-go areas. Since it can be heated from frozen while remaining inside the packaging, you can provide customers with a convenient take-out option that's ready to heat and serve for a quick lunch on the go. Offer them at your concession stand, in employee break rooms, in hot food vending machines, or in glass door merchandisers at your grocery or convenience store. To heat, leave the tamale in the individual packaging and microwave on high for 2 minutes from frozen or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Leave it to stand for 1 minute before carefully opening the package. No matter how you choose to serve it, this Tucson Foods tamale is an easy way to offer a beloved Latin staple that will keep your customers coming back for more!
