Humitas for Dinner

So as we were filling up our gas tank this evening, we noticed a woman by sitting by herself with a huge pot in front of her. So we figured we would see what she was selling. We found a delicious treat inside that huge pot. Humitas! Also known as tamales, but here in Bolivia they are called humitas. We bought 4 for $1.07 and brought them home. We bought two that were steamed and the other two were made in a pachamanca oven. They are filled with corn and cheese. Very good and sweet. Filling and cheap. I never get sick of the traditional food here. They can make some of the tastiest food with just a few things and spices. We are starting to notice a lot more women selling humitas in the street. Life is good here. :)
