Tamale Pie with Jalapeño Salsa
Tamales are steamed parcels of cornmeal, usually wrapped around shredded meat, that are very popular in Mexico and Latin America as a convenient snack. Here we’re using cornmeal to make a topping for a simple chilli, creating a delicious and convenient one pot dinner! On the side is a jalapeño salsa which has the perfect amount of green chilli kick to complement the meal.

Loved this recipe. Although not listed as gluten free, that is how I cooked it. My husband (the coeliac) thinks the topping could actually be made separately and used as bread - that is next on the list when I have ordered the spices.

Great job adapting this recipe to make a gluten-free version, Katie - we're so pleased to hear that it worked a treat and you loved the meal! Check out our new Taco Legend World Tour kit if you enjoyed the topping - there's a yummy recipe in there for cornbread with honey butter!
