BELEN, N.M. -- A group of people say they cooked the world's longest tamale Saturday. Luis Hernandez of the ABQ West Chamber of Commerce says a team of more than 30 chefs assembled a 116-foot, 7-inch long tamale at the Valencia County fairgrounds. Organizers say the ingredients included 120 pounds of masa and 50 pounds of green chile. According to Guinness World Records, the longest tamale assembled was in Cancun, Mexico, in 2011 and measured a little over 66 feet.
