...chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven.
Odd aroma in here, and too hot to open the doors and windows.

Michael, saw this recipe for leftover carnitas last night. Might come in handy...if there ARE any
Carnitas Tamale Pie
Carnitas. Turns out they make a great topping for Tamale Pie. I just love whole thing together – the melted cheese, enchilada sauce, spicy carnitas, and a sweet, mushy tamale-like crust. I like that it can be cut into squares or just scooped into a bowl. I like that it can should be sprinkled with cilantro. I like the melted white cheese. I liked putting guacamole on this. Serves: 9-12
⅔ cup ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
½ cup YELLOW CORN MEAL
3 Tbsp GRANULATED SUGAR
1 Tbsp BAKING POWDER
¼ tsp SALT
2 Tbsp VEGETABLE OIL
1 can DICED GREEN CHILES
⅓ cup MILK
1 EGG
1 can CREAM CORN
2-3 cups LEFTOVER CARNITAS
1 cup ENCHILADA SAUCE
1 cup shredded WHITE CHEESE (JACK, PEPPERJACK, etc.)
Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Stir in the oil until the mixture makes soft crumbs. Whisk in the milk and egg. Add the cream corn and green chiles and stir until just combined. Bake in a 9” square pan (or larger, depending on how thick you want it) for 25 minutes or until set. Since it’s a tamale-like base, it won’t be completely dry like a cornbread. It’s supposed to be just a little mushy.
Poke holes in the crust with a fork. Pour the enchilada sauce over the crust. Squeeze or drain excess moisture out of the carnitas and arrange on top of the crust. Sprinkle with cheese.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Cover with foil, return to oven, and bake for 20 minutes. When everything is heated through, remove foil and let bake for another 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Top with chopped cilantro, allow to cool for 5 minutes, and cut into slices or scoop into bowls.

Carnitas are so versatile. We eat burritos, tacos, pork tortas with red chile sauce, omelets...
...stuffed with carnitas, potatoes, green sauce and cheese, etc.
Your recipe looks wonderful!
Thanks.

Michael, have you ever had a pambazo? They dip the whole torta in guajillo sauce
then griddle. They are divine and very messy. Definitely a knife & fork sandwich. Surprisingly not hot, just spicy.

I love guajillo chiles. That's what I use to make the red pork tamale filling.
I'll have to check out your suggestion. I've heard of the delicacy, but never tried it.

Cathy, I've never made them. There is a really good torta shop close to my old office
and I've had them there.
