Masa & Smoke

Delta Hot Tamale Seasoning

Masa, the nixtamalized corn at the heart of Mexican cooking, is one of the oldest and most brilliant food technologies in the Americas. And in the Mississippi Delta, where Mexican workers and Black sharecroppers cooked side by side in the early 1900s, tamales took root and became a Delta staple unlike any other. Masa & Smoke carries both traditions: real corn masa flour for body, smoked heat for the Delta, ancho and cumin for the fire. Use it on tamales, chili, roasted corn, and pork shoulder.

Best for: tamales, ground beef & pork, chili, tacos, roasted corn, beans & rice, pork-shoulder rub

A little goes a long way, start with a pinch.
