Portable and self-contained, they are a popular street food with countless variations found all across Mexico, and the essential dish for Día de la Candelaria. Tamales are an ancient, pre-Columbian Mexican dish – soft cornmeal dough ( masa) stuffed with a flavourful filling, wrapped in corn husks and steamed. This fun and tasty mashup combines two great Mexican favourites: Calabazas a la Mexicana, tender zucchini sautéed with onion and tomato, with Equites, the popular street food snack of corn kernels garnished with chiles, lime, crumbled cheese and mayo or crema.

Join Chef Erika Araujo as she brings this delicious celebration to The Dep for this special Candelaria dinner featuring traditional tamale and atole recipes passed down from generation to generation. It believed that the Spanish adopted this to ease the conversion to the Catholic faith, and the modern tradition retains certain common elements, such as dressing up children for the occasion.Īs with many other traditions in Mexico, in the end it is just an excuse to get together with family and friends to eat great food.

This festivity has deep roots on the same day - the eleventh day of the first month on the Aztec calendar - pre-Hispanic Mexicans had a celebration paying a tribute to the Rain God Tlaloc to ensure abundant rainfall for the crops. One tradition is to hide a small figurine of el Niño (baby Jesus) in the bread, and whoever gets the slice with that in it, is expected to prepare tamales for their friends & family on Día de la Candelaria (Candlemas) on February 2. In early January, Dia De Los Reyes (Three Kings Day) celebrates the three wise men who brought gifts to the newborn Jesus it’s celebrated with the baking of a Rosca de Reyes, a round bread ‘wreath’. In Mexico, Christmas interconnects with many other festivities and traditions.
