Tamales are a traditional Mexican dish made of corn dough filled with meats, cheeses, and vegetables. They are wrapped in corn husks or plantain leaves and boiled or steamed. Tamales can be frozen and reheated, but they must be handled carefully to prevent them from becoming dry or falling apart.
How To Rewarm Tamales
One way to rewarm tamales is to place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Another way to reheat tamales is by microwaving them. Place the tamales in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
