CHILE TAMALE PIE

This crowd-pleasing potluck dish is easy to prepare. It packs a little heat, a little sweet and a big-time authentic southwestern flavor. There is no substitute for freshly ground chiles. A small food processor on high speed may be used to grind the chiles and cumin, or use a dedicated coffee grinder for fresh spices. It is a fantastic $15 investment for fresh spices anytime-and your palate will thank you! -Ralph Stamm, Dayton, Ohio

Categories     Entree

Time 55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (5 oz)
1/3 cup milk
1 egg plus 1 egg white, beaten (about 1/4 cup eggs)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 can (14.75 oz) cream-style corn
1 box (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix
1 can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles
1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ mild green chile enchilada sauce
3 cups shredded or chopped deli rotisserie chicken
1 tablespoon Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
Chopped green onions, chopped fresh cilantro and sour cream, for topping, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Generously spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, stir 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese, the milk, eggs, cumin, red pepper flakes, cream-style corn, cornbread mix and chopped green chiles until just combined. Spread evenly in baking dish.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until corn mixture is just set and edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Use fork to poke holes in top of corn mixture. Pour enchilada sauce evenly over top.
  • Toss chicken with taco seasoning mix, then sprinkle over the top. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup shredded cheese on top of chicken.
  • Bake about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
  • Top with chopped green onions, chopped cilantro and dollops of sour cream.
  • To freeze: Cool completely after baking, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil before freezing. When ready to bake, remove plastic wrap and foil. Heat oven to 400°F. Cover dish with just foil. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until heated through. Tip: If you plan to freeze your dish, I'd suggest baking it ahead of time in a non-glass dish--otherwise, you'll want to let the dish thaw for a bit before placing it in the oven so the glass doesn't run the risk of shattering.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup masa harina
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces ground sirloin
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 poblano chile, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
8 ounces tomatillos, chopped (about 8 small)
1 cup frozen baby lima bean
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup queso fresco, crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
4 lime wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Combine the masa harina, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and ground red pepper, stirring well with a whisk. Add 1 cup boiling water to masa mixture, and stir until a soft dough forms. Cover until ready to use.
  • Heat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add beef to pan; cook 5 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble.
  • Add onion, garlic, poblano chile, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring frequently.
  • Add tomatillos and lima beans to pan, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add butter and baking powder to masa mixture, stirring until smooth. Dollop batter over filling, and spread into an even layer.
  • Cover pan with foil; bake at 400° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned around edges. Remove from oven; let stand 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco and cilantro; serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients, especially green chiles and corn. Fresh ingredients will give your tamale pie the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the beef. Overcooked beef will be tough and dry. Cook it until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it rest before shredding.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A blend of different cheeses will give your tamale pie a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and cream cheese.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Traditional tamale pie toppings include olives, sour cream, and guacamole. But you can also try other toppings, such as salsa, pico de gallo, or shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Green chile tamale pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. It is a great way to use up leftover beef or pork, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can have a delicious tamale pie on the table in no time.
