Layered Tamale Pie image

I originally got this recipe from my Great Grandma Ce. But I came up with the layered idea. Originally there were no corn tortillas, and it was more like a sort of meat loaf pie. This recipe is interesting, very tasty, and kid-friendly too!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tamale pie turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

The tamale pie was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll add some extra broth or sauce next time.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

The tamale pie turned out great! I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time and it worked out perfectly.
