Probably the first-known kind of portable food, tamales originated in the pre-hispanic Aztec civilization and then spread to the rest of Mesoamèrica. Tamales have been ever since as ubiquitous and varied as the sandwich is today.
Almost every state in Mèxico has its own way of making them, and even then, the recipes vary from region to region.
This flavorful tamal is filled with the Oaxacan staple "amarillo" - a mild-flavor mole, made with regional chiles and corn - chicken, and hierba santa leaves.
