To prepare, remove the tamale from its outer packaging. You can heat it in the microwave or oven. For microwave preparation, place the tamale on a microwave-safe plate and heat for a few minutes, turning halfway through. For oven preparation, unwrap the tamale and place it on a baking sheet in a preheated oven until heated through. The masa should be soft and the filling hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other tamales that might be made with meat, this version focuses on black beans for its filling. The verde salsa provides a distinct flavor that is different from red enchilada sauces often found in other frozen Mexican-style dishes. The corn masa is a traditional element.
Who it is for
This frozen meal is suitable for individuals seeking a convenient vegetarian option for a quick meal.
How to keep the rest
Keep this product frozen in your freezer until ready to prepare. Once heated, it should be consumed immediately. If you do not finish the entire tamale after heating, it is not recommended to refreeze it.
