TAMALE BAKE USING LEFTOVERS

Don't have time to make tamales? Sometime we have left-over meats and need a recipe that we can use up in a pleasant Mexican dish. At this time of year we have lots of leftover turkey. Or, buy chicken breast i.e. I have a corn tamale recipe that the professional would have a hard time making it better…no short cuts. See the post. You can add butter, cut fresh corn in this recipe instead of meat. (Just on “pulse” barely crushing the corn.
TAMALE CASSEROLE BAKE
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. chicken or vegetable broth (or water)
1/2 tsp. salt (reduce if too much salt in broth.
3/4 c. Masa Harina
1 med. onion, chopped
1 (4 oz.) can green chilies, chopped
1 1/2 c. grated Montgomery cheese
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
4 eggs, well beaten
2-3 c. left-over chopped meats; (TURKEY; chicken, beef, or more cheese etc.)

Masa Hernia can be found in almost any store these days. It makes wonderful home-made tortillas.
Combine water, salt and masa in 2 quart pan. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Add onions, heat. Reduce heat to low and cook until it is very thick. Remove from heat. Gradually add eggs, mixing well. Add all the rest of the ingredients except 1/2 cup cheese. Mix well.
