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
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!

I am seriously going to try this, but I have to make my own cornbread recipe because the box you buy has sugar in it and I don’t do sugar. Thanks so much for the recipe Liz.
Krys R says
Sounds really good. I like that it’s made with Turkey also!
Michelle Tucker says
Wonder if it’d be okay with other meats. My husband swears he’ll leave me if I ever try to make ground turkey for dinner;). He loves turkey though, so I don’t know why. Anyway, this looks fabulous.

Made with turkey – I have always been afraid to do that – I have to rethink it. sandie

Amber says
Mmm…
I love my Diet Coke as well!
marie says
I am a huge fan of anything with cornmeal, also Mexican food is my very favorite so this is a match made in heaven. Except I tend to stick with water. We never drank soda growing up so I am used to it.
Naomi says
I am a Diet Coke addict, too, and that looks like a superb accompaniment… must pick up some cornbread mix, pronto!
alissa apel says
I want!

Yummy! 🙂 I love that Coca-Cola has recipes…I made chicken wings not long ago and they were so tasty!
Susi says
That looks delicious and something we would all enjoy. I think, next time we feel a little Mexican I’ll give this one a shot!!!
Chelsea A says
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!
SuziCate says
This sounds delicious; can’t wait to try it!
NIcole says

Yum! Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe. 🙂
April Decheine says
Oh man that looks really good, I tried making tamales once, don’t think I did such a good job, we were at Aldi and I almost bought the mesa or is it masa to try it again. This looks a bit easier using corn bread! Umm I adore chipotles..
Mimi says
Note to self, do NOT look at Liz’s posts before breakfast or you’ll want whatever it is she just shared. Yes, now I want tamale pie instead of cereal for breakfast.
Elizabeth Owens says
That looks so tasty! And pretty easy to make 🙂 Thanks for sharing

A pouch of Mexi-style cornbread works well and has extra peppers in it!

That looks pretty good! I’ll have to add that to the list of things to make!
Oh… and Diet Coke goes with just about everything.
Mrs. Pancakes says

I could definitely go for a big chunk of that! YUM!!
Barbara says
This sounds and looks so delicious! I only wish I could find Chipotle chilis in France.
The Pepperrific Life says
Ooohhh, that looks so yummy! But I stopped drinking Coke years ago, so I’ll have to skip that part :). But I’ll say yes to that tamale pie!
Shell Fruscione says
That looks AMAZING!
Stephanie @ The Blue Zoo says
YUM! That looks good… And Im starving right now!!
Hows life?? =)
oceangirl says
I like to drink Coca-Cola too once in a while but never the Diet kind, it does not give me the same satisfaction as the natural coke 🙂 Your pie looks extremely delicious, the cornbread just makes me drool. But I know I can never bake it and I don’t know of a good pie shop so I’m going to have to find my way out of this!
Jeannie says
It’s like a Mexican shepard’s pie!! Sounds wonderful!
veronica lee says
Looks delish, BV!!
Lolo says
I am going to have to share this with hubs. He loves tamales, but has never had a tamale pie!
SWEET TEA says
I have a very similar recipe and I LOVE it!
Yummy stuff!!
Zippy Sandler says
This is my (and my family’s) kind of recipe. If I don’t feel like cooking, would you come make it for me Liz? LOL – I’m totally trying this one.
Patty says
Hmmm, not a big fan of the bean but the hubby might like it. Thanks for the tip about the site
Ms. A says
Hubby might like this one, I don’t eat anything spicy hot.
Megan says
That looks so delicious!
