INSTANT POT EASY TAMALE PIE

This recipe uses the same healthy tamale dough from the Instant Pot Tamales, but you don't have to fill/wrap/tie nothin'.

No filling and rolling needed with this Instant Pot Tamale Pie!  Easy, fast, and dare I say, even more delicious than my favorite tamales.

ingredients

For the Tamale Dough – canned corn  – harina – warm chicken  – baking powder – kosher salt – melted coconut oil

ingredients

For the Filling – Green Chili Shredded Beef  – desired veggies  – shredded pepper jack, cheddar, or quesadilla cheese

Press two-thirds of the tamale dough across the bottom and three-fourths of the way up the side of the pan.

Add half of your meat.

Pile on the veggies.

Then the cheese.

Then the rest of the meat.

Take your remaining dough and flatten pieces of it in your hand to place on top of the meat.

Press all the pieces together.  Fold the sides down to seal the outer edge of the pie.

Cover it with foil and make a tinfoil sling to place it on top of a trivet inside the pot.

While it cooks, make the glorious Fresh Tomatillo Salsa.

Stir it up, add extra lime juice or salt to taste.  Just try not to eat it all while the tamale pie cooks.

When the pie is done, place it on a sheet pan and cover with cheese.

Turn oven broiler to high.  Sprinkle ¼ cup cheese on top of the pie and place under the broiler until the cheese is melted and browned, about 2 minutes.

To serve, run a knife around the edge of the pie to make sure it’s not sticking, then remove the ring from the pan.
