Mexican Tamale Casserole

MEXICAN TAMALE CASSEROLE
One of my latest creations. A casserole made with store bought red chile pork tamales, cooked rice, black beans, roasted corn, salsa verde, shredded pepper jack cheese, and topped with enchilada sauce to make a hearty casserole. This recipe will easily feed twelve people and is perfect for a family dinner. Top it with shredded lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, and sour cream for a perfect finish.
