  I see your point, but tamales are traditionally wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves. The covering is also not baked or fried onto a tamale.

    The paper/corn/banana leaf is just for forming. The masa surrounding the filling is the equivalent of the bread on these other items. And sure, they’re cooked by steaming. The end result is much like a hot pocket.

      That is a good point. Thank you!
