Nothing says welcome home like joining the tamale assembly line on the day before Christmas eve/ Noche Buena. Making tamales for Christmas is a tradition held by many a Mexican/Chicano family here in Wilmas. December 23rd is the day for my family to get together, catch up on the latest family gossip and oh ya, make tamales. Above is my grandma and mom showing off their skills. Below are two steps of tamale assembly: the first is spreading the masa on the corn husk, second is putting in the filling (in this case its carne de puerco/pork).
