About Restaurant, Latino, tamale, pork
The tamale is one of the oldest dishes in the Americas: a parcel of masa (corn dough) wrapped around a savory filling — here seasoned pork — then steamed inside a corn husk until tender. Unwrapping a hot tamale is part of the ritual, and the soft, faintly sweet corn dough against the savory filling is what makes it so beloved.
At about 174 calories per 100 grams it's moderate by takeout standards, with roughly 9 grams of fat, around 16 grams of carbohydrate from the masa, and about 7 grams of protein from the pork. The corn dough brings a respectable 2.4 grams of fiber. The number to watch is sodium, near 473 milligrams per 100 grams, since both the masa and the filling are well seasoned; cholesterol is modest at around 20 milligrams.
Steaming rather than frying keeps a tamale lighter than many other masa dishes, but the sodium and the fat in the dough mean a few of them make a full, hearty meal. Enjoying one or two with a side of beans, salsa or a simple salad is a satisfying and balanced way to have them.
