I added a layer of black beans to this tamale pie, and it was the perfect addition. It gave the dish a boost of protein and fiber.

I made this tamale pie with ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great! It's a healthier option that's still just as delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of tamales, but I really enjoyed this dish. The cornbread topping was the perfect complement to the tamale filling.
