About Tamales de elote

Tamales de Elote, or sweet corn tamales, are a traditional Mexican dish renowned for their tender texture and naturally sweet flavor. Made from fresh ground corn mixed with butter, sugar, and a touch of salt, these tamales are wrapped in corn husks and steamed to perfection. Unlike savory tamales, they typically include no meat or heavy sauces, making them simpler and lighter. A good source of carbohydrates due to the corn base, Tamales de Elote provide energy alongside small amounts of fiber, vitamins, and minerals from fresh corn. However, they can be high in calories and fat from the added butter and sugar, so moderation is key. These tamales capture the rich flavors of Mexican cuisine while serving as a delightful treat that’s perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a midday snack.
