Looking for something different for your holiday feast(s) this year?
Last week at Wild Root Salon, 8814 Roosevelt Way N.E., a flier was posted on its announcement board from a local company called Garza Mexican Foods that was advertising traditional Mexican tamales and salsas for purchase in bulk — perfect for the holidays, parties or just because:
We hand make tamales and salsas in traditional Mexican style: grinding our corn, seasoning our meats, hand spreading our masa and using fresh vegetables in our salsas. Our recipes have been handed down from generation to generation and have been updated for health conscious living.
Tamales available for $15 a dozen include pork, chicken and beef. Priced at $18 a dozen are vegetable and cheese; black bean and cheese; and vegan tamales. Because of the effort put into making the tamales, they must be purchased by the dozen, with the exception of the vegan tamales which have a five-dozen minimum.
Need a couple of salsas to go with your tamales? For $4 you can get an 8-ounce container of either roasted red or tomatillo green salsa.
Check out the Garza Mexican Foods website for more information or to place an order, or call 206-422-2711 or email info.garzafoods@garzafoods.com. Your order can either be delivered to you, or you can pick it up at their Wedgwood commercial kitchen.
