3 oz (85 g) pepper jack cheese
ENCHILADA SAUCE
1/4 cup (59 ml) cooking oil

Angie: I have a recipe for tamale pie from the corn meal box I saved years ago. But this looks great with chicken and a homemade sauce. In my recipe it calls for corm and stewed tomatoes, I also add a few olives. Thanks so much for this and ALL of you wonderful recipes! Date: 2021-04-28
