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 maseca (corn treated with hydrated lime) and wheat flour is filled with a delicious blend of cheese and Hatch Green Chile. Each tamale is then wrapped in parchment paper 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.
Our masa is made with wheat flour, vegetable shortening and canola oil, not lard. There is no meat in these tamales, but they are not vegan: they contain dairy (cheese) and wheat (gluten).
