tamale casserole

Ingredients

  • 12 Chicken Tamales, thawed
  • 1 jar Mölli Mexico City (spicy) or Morelos Cooking Sauce (mild)
  • 1 cup Fresh or frozen yellow corn
  • 1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup Whipping cream
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, grated

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Remove husks off tamales. Place tamales in a single layer in a 10×10-inch ovenproof dish. Sprinkle corn, green onions and ½ cup cilantro.
  2. In a bowl, whisk cream and Mexico City sauce until fully integrated. Drizzle over tamales. Sprinkle mozzarella over top.
  3. Bake tamale casserole until heated through and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle remaining cilantro and serve with a side of refried beans. Provecho!

TIP: If you want to make it spicier, mix half a jar of Morelos Cooking Sauce with half a jar of Mexico City Cooking Sauce.
