Beans, rice, cheese, pork, chicken, turkey, and other vegetables and seasonings are among the Savory tamales. People traditionally enjoy the tamale fresh from its steamy bag, unenhanced by salsa and crema. However, that isn't to say that you shouldn't drizzle a little hot sauce or acamole if you choose.

Sweet tooths of every kind are satisfied by dessert tamales. Think fruity, caramel, and creamy steamed hand pies. These dessert tamales, usually a smaller version of the hearty, savory tamale, provide a little indulgence at the end of a meal.
