Tamalada 2021

The Second Annual Whitney/McDonald Tamalada is complete! I lost track of how many tamales we made, but it’s likely between 50 and 60. A buffet-style assembly line let folks make tamales with their choice of:

  • masa w/ pork fat
  • masa w/ chicken fat
  • shredded chicken
  • pork carnitas
  • roasted chilies
  • Oaxaca cheese
  • salsa verde
  • salsa rojo
  • mole

Next year we need to figure out a better way to identify everyone’s tamales. Colored twine? The strips of parcment paper we used this year worked OK, but not great.
