About Bean tamales
Bean tamales are a traditional dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, offering a flavorful and satisfying vegetarian option. These tamales are made by spreading masa—a dough crafted from ground corn treated with lime—onto corn husks and filling them with seasoned beans, often black or pinto, sometimes simmered with onion, garlic, and spices like cumin or chili powder. Steamed to perfection, they provide a balanced source of protein and fiber from the beans, paired with energy-sustaining carbohydrates from the masa. Tamales are naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for various dietary needs. However, traditional recipes may include added fats, like lard, in the masa, which can contribute to a higher calorie and saturated fat count. When paired with fresh salsa or vegetables, bean tamales make a hearty and wholesome dish that celebrates the rich flavors and traditions of Mexican cuisine.
