About Rajas con queso tamale

Rajas Con Queso Tamale is a classic Mexican dish featuring a soft masa dough filled with strips of roasted poblano peppers (rajas) and creamy melted cheese, all wrapped in a corn husk and steamed to perfection. This vegetarian tamale offers a flavorful combination of smoky, mildly spicy peppers and rich, savory cheese, making it a comforting and delicious option. While rich in flavor, its health aspects vary: the masa provides energy-boosting carbohydrates, and the poblano peppers are a good source of vitamins A and C. However, keep in mind that the cheese contributes saturated fats and calories. Moderation is key to enjoying this authentic Mexican treat as part of a balanced diet.
