I was introduced to my Granny's tamale pie for the first time in 2007. The thing I enjoyed about it the most was that the recipe can be changed, rearranged and altered to your liking.
Granny makes it with these ingredients:
-Ground Turkey
-Frito Lay chips
-Cheese
-Olives
-Tomatoes
I know you smell a remix coming on! You can take the beef or turkey meat out all together and replace it with tons of mushrooms or a pound of zucchini and squash. This is what I call Layers Gone Wild! Just layer whatever you like, bake it and taste it!! I know this may sound crazy but try a meat lovers version of the Tamale Pie. Throw all your favorite meats in there, layer it up and go for it. I'm talking beef, sausage, bacon, ham and cheese! Sounds crazy but I guarantee it'll be good.
My Ingredients & My Instructions:
-Ground Turkey
-Low sodium taco seasoning
-Onion
-Corn
-Black beans
-Olives
-Tomatoes
-Frito Lay chips
-Cheese
-Sour Cream
Step 1:
cook ground turkey and onions until brown and done. Add one taco seasoning pack and water (measurements are on the back of the packet).
Step 2:Add corn, drained black beans, drained olives and a can of tomatoes into ground turkey.
Step 3:Crush up a large bag of Frito's into a dish, (I use low sodium Frito's). Add entire mixture in skillet on top of the crushed Frito's. Sprinkle shredded cheddar or jack cheese on top
Step 4:Place in oven, uncovered, for about 20 minutes (or until cheese is fully melted. Serve it up with sour cream and get ready to say Mmmmm Mmmmm Good!
Enjoy!
