As a good party host, you should be prepared to provide adequate amounts of tamales and quesadillas for your guests.

Estimate how many guests will come to your party and for the main meal, calculate between 2 and 3 pieces per person if you're serving them by themselves. Don't forget to order a frothy hot chocolate, champurrado or an agua fresca.

For dessert, consider 1 or 2 per person. Our products are crafted to be deeply nourishing and fulfilling, so you don't need that many to have a scrumptious and satisfying meal.

​The ideal way to keep your tamales hot during the party, is by placing them in chafers with perforated trays with steaming water underneath but you can also use a crockpot with a little water in the bottom, you can serve them directly from the steamer or you can just lay them out on a platter and cover them with a hot damp cloth (only downside is you would have to reheat the cloth in the microwave throughout the party). The essential point is to keep them in a HOT & MOIST environment all the times.

​

To keep deep-fried quesadillas warm and crispy at a party, focus on preserving air circulation so the fried shell does not trap steam and turn soggy. If using a chafing dish, make sure to use an elevated steam rack or keep the lid slightly ajar rather than sealing it tightly. Never use a microwave to reheat fried quesadillas, as it destroys the crisp texture.
