Tamale

New Mexican red chile pork tamales The standard New Mexico tamal is shredded pork cooked in red chile sauce, wrapped in masa that is often blended with red chile powder too, then steamed in a corn husk. The result tastes as much of chile as of corn, which is the point. Order them smothered in more red chile at a restaurant, or buy a dozen from a local maker and steam them at home. They reheat better than almost anything else on this list.
