Chipotle Tamale Pie

Ya’ll know I enjoy a Diet Coke with each and every meal, snack, and breath I take, so naturally I spend a significant amount of time at My Coke Rewards, but not just to enter codes, I tell ya.

I also love the celebrity chef recipes I’ve found over there! In fact, I like them so much so that I’ve made two of them within the last week.

One of them was created by Ingrid Hoffman, and here’s how it came out for me – delicious!

 Chipotle Tamale Pie

Chipotle-Tamale-Pie

 

Ingredients

1 T unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 T olive oil
1 lb Lean ground turkey
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 15-oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 8-oz can diced tomatoes
2 chipotle chiles, plus 1 tsp adobo sauce from canned chipotle in adobo
1 cup grated cheddar or mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 8.5-oz package cornbread mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8-inch baking dish with the butter and set aside.

2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, onions, green peppers, and garlic, and cook until the turkey is cooked through and no longer pink. Drain off excess fat and sprinkle the meat mixture with the cumin.

3. Add beans, tomatoes, chiles and adobo sauce to the skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until heated through and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in cheese and cilantro.

4. Spread turkey mixture in prepared baking dish, pressing to make an even, compact layer.

5. Combine the cornbread mix with milk and egg. Spread batter over the turkey mixture.

6. Bake until cornbread is golden-brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the tamale pie stand for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Now, just crack open a nice cold Coca-Cola and enjoy!

    This actually sounds pretty tasty. I’m vegetarian, though – I wonder if it’d be better to use TVP or tofu to replace the turkey in this if I made it. Hmm. I love the idea of the cornbread topping, though, that sounds fantastic. :3 I love anything involving cornbread, really!
