New Mexican Green Chile Chicken Tamales! Hatch Green Chile and chicken is one of the most iconic flavor combinations in New Mexican cuisine. You'll find these two ingredients in everything from enchiladas to breakfast burritos to stew. We know that one of the best ways to enjoy this flavor combo is in tamales!
We use an authentic New Mexican recipe for our tamales. Fluffy masa made with maseca (corn treated with hydrated lime) and wheat flour is stuffed with Hatch Green Chile, shredded chicken and cheddar cheese. 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 hand-made in small batches to ensure top-notch quality.
