Tamales de pollo are one of my favorite Salvadoran food. It's made with corn flour dough (masa), stewed chicken, choice of vegetables and wrapped in a banana leaves. Tamales are eaten year round, you can typically hear someone yelling "TAMALES!" at 6 am every day in front of my abuelita's house in El Salvador. In the US my mom typically makes tamales during the holidays because they are a labor of love!
