Tamales are pretty simple, dried corn husk as the shell, corn dough which consist of some corn flour, lard and salt, and some amazing recipe to give it flavor, such as chicken in green salsa, pork in red adobo sauce and jalapenos and cheese. If what you have is a sweet tooth then sweet tamales are amazing as well, strawberry, pineapple, and raisin are the classics.
The traditional way of eating them would include a hot and steamy atole, which is a hot creamy drink that can be made of any flavor, my personal favorite are: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and caramel.
I recently went to Anaya's Market, which is a local Latino Market located at 1550 West and 7800 South in West Jordan, just down the street from gardeners village, and this place has a peculiar difference, in the parking lot there's a Tamale stand, which might be a new concept to you, but there's an authentic Tamal stand, it's located at the east corner in the same side as the market. sells them in the evenings all week, from 5 pm. to 10 pm.
This place brings back so many memories from me growing up in Mexico, they are made just right, they are only $1.25 a piece and the atole is the same price, they sell different flavors, chicken in green salsa, pork in red adobo, rajas con queso ( cheese and peppers ), even the sweet tamales i talked about, this place has it all.
Throught my life I've had a lot of Tamales, and for the longest time I thought only my mom knew how to make them, well, this place makes them just right, moist, flavorful and with lots of filling.
For that affordable price you've got to go get some!!! enjoy.
