That tamale pie looks perfect! Thank you.
Woah! How was the mockamole? I'm a guac addict.
becky-
The mock guac was really good It's a little sweet though from the peas but not bad at all. We ate them with tortilla chips too.
hey thats a pretty neat idea for mock guac! you could also cut real guac with peas for a reduced fat dip.or just to make guac stretch longer,,,,,lol im obviously a "volume eater"
Happy Labor Day everyone! I hope you’re having a relaxing day, preferably one that involves great friends and a delicious backyard barbecue :-)
Although the threat of rain in DC postponed my own barbecue plans, I’ve had a fun weekend relaxing in doors with friends. I’m feeling excited and recharged for the first day of my fellowship. I can’t believe it starts tomorrow already! :-)
Today I have a delicious and easy, one dish dinner recipe…Tamale Pie! It’s packed with moist cornbread, gooey cheese, and general taco-y goodness. This recipe adaptation was originally motivated by two simple facts: 1) I didn’t have any leftover slow cooked meat and 2) I didn’t have time to make any. consulta online medico online pediatra online medico online doctor online dermatologo online veterinario online veterinario online psychologist online consulta online abogado online abogado online abogado online abogado online abogado online psicologo online doctor online psicologo online abogado online abogado online By simply sautéing spiced ground beef I created a tasty beef alternative ready in only 10 minutes. Feel free to use any meat you have around…if it goes with taco spices it will go with this recipe. I baked this in a large cast iron skillet, but the recipe also cooks up well in a 9×9 or 9×13 pan. The size of the pan will change the thickness, but not the deliciousness of each layer. I love my tamale pie topped with all the taco fixings…Salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, cilantro, and lime juice. It’s super personalizable, so have fun with it and enjoy!
