In Texas, we don’t break bread, we break tear a tortilla. Nuestra comida y cultura; that’s what brings us together, that is the bond and yeah, manteca too. ???? I wanted to share some good vibes and know that in these difficult times, we have to support each other, fight and take action. Meanwhile, let’s warm up the soul over the holidays with our communities, tacos y tamales.
TEXAS TRADITIONS: TAMALES
Tamales are part of Texas culture and tradition. Ellen Riojas Clark, Ph.D., former UTSA professor and co-author of “Tamales, Comadres and the Meaning of Civilization,” has been making tamales for over 57 years. She invited Beef Loving Texans to her home in San Antonio for one of her famous tamaladas.
