Recipe Notes
Tamale pie (also known as taco pie or taco bake) is a comfort food classic. It is essentially tacos in a Pyrex dish, baked. It is deceptively simple and the tortillas give it a great corn flavor and then there are beans, cheese, onions, and jalapeños.
This version is based on a taco on the menu at a taco joint in New Orleans. The combination of broccoli, cheese, roasted garlic, corn, and black beans is just perfect. Combining those flavors – roasted broccoli along with the sweet and umami roasted garlic and corn with the savory onions and cheese – with the tamale pie makes a great recipe and you should definitely make extra so you have leftovers for lunch or dinner (or even breakfast).
