Harina Tres Estrellas

The tamales... just thinking about them makes us sigh, especially when paired with atole or champurrado. This dish has its origins in the pre-Hispanic era, where it was very special and prepared for parties and offerings.

With the arrival of lard and spices in our country, we began to prepare all kinds of sweet and savory versions: Oaxacan, mole, sweet, rajas, green, canary, and more, the variety is endless!

We know that we all love this gem of Mexican cuisine, so we set out to create a very fluffy and practical version, as it is made with Tres Estrellas® Rice Flour. Additionally, we filled this tamal with ate and cheese, the combination that never fails!
