Tamales are the perfect comfort food: fluffy, hearty and steaming hot. This one is stuffed with queso fresco or fresh cheese and chunks of jalapeño pepper. The trick to making tamales is that it’s not enough to just follow a recipe. A good cook has experience in knowing when the dough has achieved its perfect texture and is ready to be steamed. There are also different beliefs around the preparation of tamales. Some people say that the handles of the steamer used to cook them are like ears, and so the cook in charge should tie pieces of dried corn husks on them so that the tamales are cooked peacefully without them hearing the conversations going on in the kitchen. Another common belief is that tamales are very sensitive to the moods of the people in the house, so if someone cooks the tamales while feeling angry, they won’t fully cook on the inside. Whether true or not, it’s a good excuse to always cook them when in a good mood so that they bring harmony to a home. ⁠ ⁠ #eatmexico #mexicocity #snacktime #eatmexicotours #travel #foodtours #marketstalls #cdmx #mexicocityfood #tamales #street food #mexicocitystreetfood

Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican ancestry living in other places, especially the United States. It is acknowledged internationally in many other cultures. The multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey. In 2008, the tradition was inscribed in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
