What Is a Tamal Rojo?
A tamal is a traditional Mexican dish made from masa (corn dough) that is filled with savory or sweet ingredients, wrapped in a corn husk, and cooked by steaming. The Tamal Rojo gets its name from the red chile sauce used to season the filling, giving it a rich color and bold flavor.
