What ๐Ÿซ” means

A tamale in its corn husk: masa dough filled with meat, cheese or beans, then steamed. It means the dish and the home cooking of Mexico and Central America.

In many Mexican and Mexican-American families, making tamales together is a holiday tradition, so it often appears around Christmas with ๐ŸŽ„. It also turns up in food-truck finds and family recipe posts.

Similar wrapped dishes, like Brazilian pamonha, use it too.
