Herbs and spices such as cilantro, cumin, and chili peppers keep flavors alive and exciting. To help you get started on your dinner party plans, we suggest trying tamales for the main dish. Tamales consist of a cornmeal filling with a variety of other possible ingredients, such as chili peppers and mushrooms. The filling is cooked in a corn husk wrapper or avocado leaves. Add herbs and spices like garlic, chili spice or cilantro.
Tamales are fun to make, and full of robust flavors.
