Cantina Laredo is carrying on a proud tradition with homemade holiday tamales. It’s a great way to bring family together, and is as popular in Mexico as Christmas cookies in the US.

With many international choices becoming popular for holiday dinners, Cantina Laredo serves up a truly Mexican dish wrapped in tradition – tamales.

In Mexico during the holidays, tamales “are a culinary requirement, like Christmas cookies,” according to a New York Times article (http://nyti.ms/1hZOSh3). The traditional dish is made by filling corn masa (dough) with a variety of ingredients and wrapping the dough in cornhusks to steam or boil.

Cantina Laredo brings the Mexican tradition to Omaha this year, offering fresh-made beef and chicken tamales for holiday pick up. Tamales come with the restaurant’s homemade chili con carne (beef chili) or tomatillo sauce and may be picked up hot or chilled. The cost is just $16.95 per dozen. Call 402-345-6000 to place an order for December 23 or 24.
