Tamales are a traditional Mexican dish made with a corn based dough mixture that is filled with various meats or beans and cheese. Tamales are wrapped and cooked in corn husks or banana leaves, but they are removed from the husks before eating.

If you're not going to serve your tamales right away, you should refrigerate them, preferably in some airtight container or sealable plastic bag. If you want to freeze them for long term storage, use vacuum sealer bags. This will prevent them from freezer burn.
