Tamales oaxaquenos are the banana-leaf-wrapped tamales filled with mole negro, mole amarillo or rajas, fatter and flatter than central-Mexican corn-husk tamales.
Tamales oaxaquenos are wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks, making them fatter and flatter than central-Mexican tamales. The fillings (mole negro with chicken, mole amarillo with pork, rajas with quesillo) are pre-Hispanic in form. The morning counters at Mercado Sanchez Pascuas run them from 06:00; many families make 200 at a time for Day of Dead and Christmas tamaladas.
