"When it's done properly, taco should be a verb." -Jonathan Gold

The refrigerator light goes on...

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 I used to have at a taco joint in New Orleans. 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).
