How to reheat tamales: Top methods for keeping them delicious

Tamales

One of my go-to meals is tamales, and in my opinion, they are one of the tastiest and most popular dishes for a night out on the town, complete with a few frosty margaritas. But knowing how to reheat tamales is a must to retain that delicious first-bite flavor.

A traditional Mesoamerican dish, tamales are stuffed with meats or beans and cheese and wrapped in a banana leaf or a corn husk. Steamed and served with pico de gallo and rice, they make for a delightful dish that's easy to make and packed with flavor and spice.

It's time to finally learn how to drink whiskey
Whiskey being poured into a glass

I've written about alcohol for almost 20 years, and in that time, I've learned a few things. One of the biggest things I've learned is that there's something special about whisk(e)y. Whether you enjoy a nuanced single malt Scotch whisky, a complex bourbon whiskey, a spicy rye whiskey, or any random whisk(e)y (only the U.S., Ireland, and Mexico use the 'e' in whiskey) from a far-flung locale, this barrel-aged spirit is for everyone.

There are countless styles and expressions to choose from, and there are a number of ways to imbibe them. This includes cracking a bottle open, pouring it into a glass, and drinking it neat.
