Traditional Hatch Green Chile Cheese Tamales! Taking some brilliant cues from our Hatch Chile Rellenos, our delicious Hatch Green Chile Cheese Tamales are made with a savory, gooey cheese that perfectly complements the taste and spice of Hatch Green Chile.
We use an authentic New Mexican recipe for our tamales. Fluffy masa made with stone-ground maseca (dried corn) is filled with a delicious blend of cheese and Hatch Green Chile. Each tamale is then wrapped in a paper wrapper and steamed to perfection. Once steamed, these tamales will melt in your mouth. All of our tamales are handmade in small batches to ensure top-notch quality.
Like all traditional New Mexican tamales, our masa is made with lard, so these are not vegetarian or vegan.
