Chicken tamales in green salsa
Chicken breast with no fat, simmered in a bright tomatillo salsa verde and wrapped in our gluten-free masa. One of the two tamales we make every morning, for delivery or pickup across North Dallas.
What is in our chicken tamal
The filling is chicken breast, pulled by hand, with no fat and no skin. It cooks slowly in a salsa verde made from tomatillos, so it stays moist and tastes bright rather than heavy. A customer once described it better than we could: clean, not greasy, a lot of chicken and a really nice green tomatillo flavor.
The masa is gluten-free. It is made from corn, with no wheat flour added, and it is spread thin enough that every bite has filling in it. Each tamal is wrapped in a corn husk and steamed the same morning it goes out.
Heat level is mild to medium. If your group includes people who do not like spice, chicken in green salsa is the safer choice; the pork tamales in red salsa carry a little more kick.

Wooooweee these are delicious! These chicken and pork tamales are so tender, immensely flavorful, and huge! I can tell they are made with love. I’m pretty sure my eyes rolled back when I took the first bite. Service was perfect as well! Definitely recommended!KiMMY89
