description of dishes prepared by a woman street vendor in Ocosingo. More specifically, the woman is one of the indigenous Tzeltal, from Sivacá. Please note that the tamales eaten by, say, my in-laws from Colombia are very different from what we here in California know as tamales.

So, I'm trying to be as specific/visually descriptive as possible. For example, most tamales I've eaten are wrapped in what looks like cooked corn husk with vertical ridges. Hence, "de hoja" is not immediately clear to me, visually. Is "bola" a kind of "masa" paste? Same goes for "dulce". I mean, what KIND of sweets are typically used to fill tamales from that part of the world?

"de guaán, de mumo, de chipilín" I have no clue about; but then they say food terms and botanical terms are among the trickiest to translate. People normally just don't have the vocab.

If it's easier to explain the Equivalent in Spanish, please feel free to do so.

Thanks in advance.
