I haven't had tamale pie in years. My mom used to make it when I was a kid. When I started this vegetarian kick I didn't want to just eat vegetables, especially salad. I always enjoyed this dish and I'm not sure why I didn't think to make it until now, but it turned out great. Mom used Fritos but I went for blue corn tortilla chips instead. Next time I think I'll stick with the corn chips because the baked chips I used got soggy. Feel free to add anything you like to the pie. I added poblano pepper which mom never did and I wanted to add zucchini but it went bad before I got to it. Anywho, without further ado, here's the recipe:
