Tamales for the Holiday Season

Miguel’s Jr. is rolling out its famous seasonal tamales, the perfect festive meal to bring the family together for the holidays. Handmade with 100% stone-ground premium masa, Miguel’s Jr.’s tamales are prepared according to Miguel’s Restaurants’ Founder and Chief Recipe Officer, Mary Vasquez’s secret, signature recipe. Authentically seasoned and made of only the highest quality premium ingredients, Mary’s Tamales are available at Miguel’s Jr. starting December 2.

Born in Central Mexico, Mary learned how to cook by spending time in her mother’s kitchen. A home chef, Mary took years to perfect her signature tamale recipe with authentic techniques learned in her childhood home. Over forty-five years later, Miguel’s Jr. uses Mary’s time-honored recipe for tender tamales stuffed with perfectly seasoned, slow-roasted succulent California Chile or Chile Rojo Pork.

“What makes a great tamale is the dough,” said Mary Vasquez. “Miguel’s Jr. starts with the finest 100% stone-ground masa and then we enrich it. The combination of secret ingredients added to the masa creates the perfect dough that, when combined with our slow-cooked Chile Rojo Pork or California Chile, makes an unbelievably flavorful and moist tamale our guests enjoy year after year.”

For the first time, Miguel’s Jr. is offering a Tamale Bundle, a complete meal for four people to be enjoyed any time through the month of December and into January. For just $22.99, guests can enjoy six tamales of either flavor, large chips with Mary’s famous hot sauce (8 oz) and four regular fountain drinks. An annual Miguel’s Jr. holiday tradition, Mary’s Tamales can also be pre-ordered for holiday celebrations and events. Pre-order Mary’s Tamales by the dozen for $29.99. Mary’s Tamales are also available ready to order al-a-carte for $2.99 or as a combo with Spanish rice, refried beans and a regular drink for $6.99.

Mary’s Tamales are available at all Miguel’s Jr. locations from December 2 to January 6, or while supplies last. Mary’s Tamales are also available for delivery via Postmates and for office events via Office Express. For more information, including locations, please visit www.MiguelsJr.com.
