How to Make a Tamale Pie with Masa Harina | The Frugal Chef
This tamale pie recipe is a delicious Tex-Mex casserole made with beef and a beautiful masa harina crust. Masa harina is very finely ground corn flour which has been dried. It is also used to make corn tortillas and tamales. You can find it in Hispanic grocery stores or, perhaps, in the Mexican aisle of your grocery store.
You can use fine cornmeal instead of the masa harina if you would prefer or can not find it. That will work perfectly fine, although the flavor might be slightly different.
If you are not a big beef eater you can certainly make this tamale pie with chicken. Simply cube it finely.

Serves eight
1 pound ground beef
2 TBS olive oil
1 large white onion – finely chopped
4 garlic cloves – minced
2 chipotle peppers in adobo – finely chopped
1 small green bell pepper – finely chopped
3 tomatoes – peeled and chopped
1 cup yellow corn kernels
1 cup tomato sauce
½ cup water
1 TBS ground cumin
1 TBS oregano
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Heat some oil in a skillet and brown the beef. Drain it in a metal colander inside a bowl.
Wipe down the skillet and add more oil. Add the onion and cook for about 8 minutes – until soft, translucent and starting to brown. Add the garlic and chipotle and cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
Add the bell pepper and tomatoes. Stew the tomatoes for about 5 minutes. Return the beef to the skillet and add the corn. Add the tomato sauce and water. Mix. Add the cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove cooked meat from skillet and place in a casserole dish.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
FOR THE TOPPING:
4 cups of water
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1 ¼ cups masa harina or fine cornmeal
1 large egg
½ cup sour cream
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
Place the water in a pot – preferably a heavy one. Add the salt and chili powder. Mix. Slowly add the masa harina – whisking well every time. Cook for about 4 minutes until it resembles a thick batter.
Lightly beat the egg. Add the sour cream and whisk well. Slowly incorporate 1 cup of the hot masa harina in order to temper the egg. Mix well and pour into the pot with the remaining masa. Add cheese if using.
Pour the mixture on top of the meat. Place the casserole dish into the oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes – until meat is bubbly and masa is completely cooked through.
Remove from oven and allow sitting for about 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

THE ONLY FLOUR TORTILLA RECIPE YOU WILL EVER NEED!!! | Tortillas de Harina
Hello my beautiful fam!! Welcome back to my kitchen first of all I want to thank you for being part of our family, and allowing me to be part of yours!!!! ❤️
Today I’m going to share with you how to make the best soft flour tortillas, flour tortillas are a staple, and nothing beats homemade. I love flour tortillas over corn, but lets be honest store bought does and will never taste the same,. Making flour tortillas can be a little intimidated because i was at one point because my tortillas would never come out to a complete full circle but as grandma and mom would say, no se van a ir rodando, so its ok if they are not perfectly round, just make sure they are thin. Like everything practice makes perfect, be patient and enjoy the process its seriously super easy ☺️ now I been making tortillas for a while now ????I dont want to sound old but in the way I have tried many flours and the best one yet is from the brand King Arthur, the dough just comes perfect every time! I made the tortillas with lard, butter, shortning and oil and the best ones are made out of shorthning or lard, butter gives a really funny aftertaste, I like to taste the flour torilla so that is the reason I stick to shortning, hot water is need so that it desolves the shortning/lard or choice of fat you are using. Resting the dough is important because it allosaurus the gluten to relax( helps the dough to be elasticy)????
Like every recipe and every household,are tons of variations that make this delicious recipe, you can constantly adjust it to your taste; I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do, and as always, if you do, please don’t forget to give me a big thumbs up, comment down below your thoughts and if you new to my channel, please hit that subscribe button so you can be part of our family!!!!!! ????

Old recipe
Tip!!!! Enjoy while hot with your favorite dish! or in a burrito, make them smaller for tacos ???? to store, allow the tortillas to cool down completly inside a kitchen towel, place th3em in a ziplock bag and store in the refrigerator
dont overcook your tortilolas as this will cause your tortillas to be hard!
Ingredients:
4 cups APF my favorite is King Arthur brand
6 tbsp of lard, shortening or butter
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 cups hot water(as hot as your hands can hadle)
1 serving of love ????
