Life gets busy—especially during the holidays—but dinner doesn’t have to be a hassle. Whether you’re feeding a family or just need a quick, satisfying meal for yourself, The Tamale Company’s tamales are the perfect solution. Made with authentic Texas flavor, our tamales are as versatile as they are delicious. Here are five easy ways to make dinner stress-free and memorable with our tamales.
1. Tamale Taco Bowls
Skip the drive-thru and create a flavorful taco bowl at home! Start with a bed of cilantro rice and layer on shredded lettuce, fire-roasted corn, and a tamale of your choice. Top it off with rustic pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and a drizzle of Bodega Ranch or your favorite salsa. It’s a quick, hearty meal that hits every craving while keeping cleanup simple.
Pro Tip: Use our Beef Tenderloin or Black Bean & Corn Tamales for an extra burst of flavor.
2. Tamale Casserole Bake
Turn tamales into a comforting casserole with just a few ingredients. Lay your tamales in a baking dish, cover them with enchilada sauce, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until bubbly and golden, then garnish with sour cream, green onions, and sliced jalapeños. This dish is perfect for feeding a crowd or meal-prepping for the week.
Make It Special: Try it with our Cheese Tamales for a rich, cheesy base or the Habanero Pork Tamales for a spicy kick.
3. Breakfast Tamale Scramble
Who says tamales are only for dinner? Start your day off right by pairing them with scrambled eggs. Heat your tamales, then crumble them into a skillet with eggs, sautéed onions, and bell peppers. Top with a sprinkle of queso fresco and a side of avocado. Breakfast has never been easier—or more satisfying!
Add Some Heat: Serve with Red Rage Salsa for an extra pop of flavor.
4. Tamale and Chili Pairing
Pair your tamales with a hearty bowl of chili for a perfect cold-weather combo. Whether it’s a traditional beef chili or a lighter turkey version, the rich, savory flavors of our tamales complement the bold spices of chili beautifully. Serve with a side of cornbread for the ultimate comfort meal.
Fan Favorite: Our Chicken Verde Tamales are a great match for a spicy green chili.
5. Tamale Nachos
Give your nacho night a twist by using tamales as the star! Slice tamales into bite-sized pieces and spread them over a bed of tortilla chips. Add melted cheese, black beans, and jalapeños. Finish with a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and a drizzle of Cita’s Salsa. These tamale nachos are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
Go Bold: Use the Ancho Pork Tamales for deep, smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with nacho toppings.
