Place of originMexico
Region or stateMichoacán

Corunda is a Mexican type of tamale, but wrapped in a long corn or reed plant leaf, and folded, making a triangular shape or spherical shape. They are typically steamed until golden and eaten with sour cream (Mexican crema) and red salsa. Unlike typical tamales, they do not always have a filling. They are usually made using corn masa, salt, lard, and water. Some corundas are filled with salsa on the inside. They are commonly sold by the dozen.

It is a common food in the state of Michoacán.[1] Known since pre-Hispanic times, it is also part of the gastronomy of some neighboring states such as Guanajuato, Jalisco, Guerrero, Colima, Estado de México and Querétaro.[2] The best known are those of manteca, wrapped in leaves from the stalk of the fresh corn plant, not in corn husks, and those of ceniza, wrapped in reed leaves.[3]
