A traditional Guatemalan dish, especially popular during Holy Week. They are often served with fried fish and tomato chirmol, but you can also enjoy them on their own. They are delicious!

  2. 2

    Shape the dough into balls of your desired size. The number of tamales will depend on how big you make them.
