Tamales are believed to have originated in Mesoamerica (a region that includes parts of Mexico and Central America). They consist of a corn-based (masa) husk and a flavorful filling that is wrapped in a corn cob or banana leaf and then steamed.

While you may be more familiar with tamales filled with a savory filling tamales are also eaten with sweet fillings including various types of fruit. You can learn more about different variations and find a more traditional Mexican sweet tamale recipe from Mexico at My Kitchen.
