RE: "next time you have a couple of corn tortillas thawed, cut them into squares. Cook some chopped onions in a bit of oil till soft, toss in tortilla pieces. when they start to get a bit crispy toss in several scrambled eggs.

Nan- switch your pepper-jack to cheddar... sprinkle on some chili powder, and instead of cooking the onion- grate it raw atop the whole mess and you have chilaquilles! YUM!

Many yrs ago I used to make a really neat dish called Tamale Pie, that is the very closest I have come to making Tamales. The Tamale Pie was delicious, tatsy and a better meal than authentic Tamales. So I would get my Tamale fix, with-out all the work of making Tamale's, I have since lost the recipe:( Does anyone here happen to have a Tamale Pie recipe? I would love to have it if so.
Thanks, Cathy

Cathy, when I was a kid, my buddy's Mom used to make a delish tamale pie. I think she somehow incorporated bisquick and cornmeal into it. Is this the same as your's?

I do not remember using any flour or bisquick it was a corn bread type batter.

stir till eggs are done, top with a bit of pepper jack and you have yourself-ta da- Migas. a favorite breakfast treat with almost all the crews I had served--including the roughnecks on the drill rig in the Gulf who grew up on it in Mexico.
enjoy,

I love that too. I make it for us for brunch on the weekends. My husband LOVES it.
