I'm always looking for easy-to-use dinner recipes that will feed my family and make them happy, which is why I love these simple and original cheese tortillas!
This corn iron is a fast and easy way to meet your needs from authentic Mexican corn iron! This is a family favorite! Pinterest mixes all the authentic Tamale flavors in a simple casserole that takes less than an hour from start to finish. Since I'm a big fan of all Mexican food, there's no doubt that this Casserole will work.
The casserole base consists of a mixture of square cornbread (like Giffy), fat corn, paprika, cumin and a little cheese.
After cooking, you can pour your favorite enchiladas on it. Add a little shredded chicken and more cheese, then bake in the oven until everything is enlarged. See the instructions below
