Traditional Beef Tamales

Cootie Brown’s number one seller: shredded beef slow-simmered in authentic mole sauce, wrapped in tender masa and corn husks. The mole is made the old-fashioned way, with fire-roasted ancho and guajillo chiles blended with vine-ripened tomatoes and spices for deep, rich flavor. Pick verde or house mole sauce to spoon over the top. The Johnson City, Tennessee, restaurant traces its tamales to its namesake’s fictional food travels through Mexico. Perfect for family dinners, game days, or a tamale feast. The best seller, for good reason.
