The famous corn tamales, also known as uchepos, are typical of Michoacán and are perfect for breakfast or dinner, as they can be accompanied with a good atole or hot chocolate.

We love these tamales so much that we created this equally delicious and fluffy version, but with much more flavor, as they have a touch of McCormick Mayonnaise and pico de gallo. Enjoy!

Did you know? Uchepos are a gem of Mexican cuisine, as they are a recipe that helps us take advantage of the corn season.
