Tamale Pie Step 1

While corn is baking, toss the chicken in the remaining 1 tablespoon taco seasoning. When corn is done &#8211; it will be just barely set and golden brown &#8211; pierce entire surface liberally with a fork (it might stick a little bit to the fork). Pour enchilada sauce over top. Top with chicken; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes. Cut into 8 pieces; top each serving with cilantro and Cotija cheese.

I've frozen this it turned out fine was just as good as when I made it.... I put it in small containers with one or two servings in each container I made it for my elderly grandparents they enjoyed it each time they had it.

Hi, Lindsay.  I finally made the chicken tamale pie last night and my husband and I both loved it.  It was SO easy and tasty.  The cilantro was a must for us as it added a bright freshness to the dish.  Thanks so much for your recipe!

I was actually toying with the idea of swapping the mix for my own cornmeal/flour/salt/baking powder combo.  But obviously I went with the mix this time. :)  Here's a cool link about making your own mix: https://www.food.com/recipe/jiffy-corn-muffin-mix-copycat-345502

This looks awesome, esp. for the calories / serving.

Yep!  Just a few slight adjustments.  It's a keeper!

Loved this recipe....but I made my masa recipe for the base (you can also purchase pre-made masa in the frozen food section at grocery store).  It was delish and the family loved it.  Also, I now do not have to make the dozen of tamales at one time.  Thank you soooo much!!

I know this is super old, but wondering what exactly you did to freeze it and have it turn out :)
