Chepos, also regionally known as uchepos, is a dish in Mexican cuisine, a tamal made with tender maize (corn), which sometimes is added to milk.
The chepo can be served on its own, or with green tomatillo salsa or tomato cooked and accompanied by fresh cheese or sour cream.
As a dessert, it is usually served and bathed in sweetened condensed milk.
In other regions of Central America it is also called corn tamal.
In some regions in South America these tamales are called humitas, and recipes may call for spices, raisins, and other sweet ingredients such as cajeta blanca, arequipe, dulce de leche, and manjar.
