Goat Cheese Tamale with Pulled Smoked Chicken

The traditional corn husk–wrapped masa tamale is made richer and more interesting with the exceptional creaminess and sour notes of traditional Goat Cheese blended into the masa. The formed tamale is then piled high with hand-pulled smoked chicken and given a spicy citrus drizzle of chipotle-lime crema. Top the plated dish with a generous sprinkle of crumbled Goat Cheese.
