San Antonio surely likes to include tamales in their holiday festivities but the Southside of SA definitely has a special love for them.
A tamale, in Spanish tamal, is a traditional Mesoamerican dish made of masa, a dough made from nixtamalized corn, which is steamed in a corn husk or banana leaf. The wrapping can either be discarded prior to eating or used as a plate. Source: Wikipedia.
