Ritzy Montaner Robert is an experienced professional with a diverse background in customer service. She served as a waitress and dining room manager for five years at Havana Rumba Express. After her time at the restaurant, Ritzy Montaner Robert founded Cary Food Products LLC, a tamale distributing company.
Considered one of the most famous dishes in Latin cuisine, tamales have a history stretching back thousands of years. Tamales originated in Mesoamerica and had a prominent role in several Central American cultures, including the Aztec and Mayan civilizations.
The basic features of tamales include corn dough, a variety of fillings, and a wrapping. The most common wraps are corn husks or banana leaves. Depending on the filling, tamales can be savory or sweet. Savory fillings include cheese, meat, and vegetables. Sweet tamales can contain fruits or honey.
After the assembly of the filling and the corn dough, they are wrapped together in corn husks. The wrapped tamales are then steamed. Modern variations of tamales can also be boiled, grilled, or fried.
