Momma’s Tamales brings family recipe and tradition to Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market

A family recipe passed down from mother to daughter is now the heart of a growing tamale business making its debut at the Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market. Momma’s Tamales is one of the new vendors at this year’s market, which runs through Sunday at NRG Center. The Bellaire-based business started by selling tamales at farmers markets before opening its first brick-and-mortar location in December 2020.
