Tamales de capitas o siete cueros

Tamales de capitas o siete cueros (seven-layer tamales) is a Mexican dish originating from the region of Oaxaca. It consists of masa corn dough that is stuffed with a paste of roasted chilis, onions, roasted avocado leaves, garlic, and black beans. Once stuffed, the dough is sliced and wrapped in banana leaves. These tasty tamales are then steamed for at least one hour. It is recommended to let the tamales cool down a bit before serving.
