Tamales Salteños

This tamale variety originates from the town of Salta in Argentina, hence the name. Fresh corn husks called chalas are filled with a delicious mixture of corn flour and shredded meat – either from boiled lamb or pork head. These tamales are often enriched with the addition of onions, pimentón, and ají peppers. When assembled, tamales salteños are boiled, then removed from the husks and consumed warm.
