Tamales prepared for the holidays are seen at Delicious Tamales in San Antonio, Texas, December 14, 2012. A Mexican-American tradition, tamale sales spike during the Christmas holiday season. Mexican tamales are typically corn husks wrapped around a dough filled with ingredients such as pork, chicken, cheese, or vegetables.

People who make homemade tamales, usually have a unique ritual, an improvisation, a tried-and-true rule, a tip from a sage abuelita, a fusion style approach or an unlikely, unconventional ingredient that's really delicious.
