Here's a quick and easy recipe. We tried it tonight and it was very good.

 

Quick Tamale Squares

 

3/4 cup cornmeal

3/4 cup flour

1 tbsp sugar

3 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup water

2 eggs or substitute

1 lb ground beef or meatless crumbles

1 tbsp chili powder

16 oz jar of salsa

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or soy cheese

1 cup fresh or frozen cooked corn

 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray at 12x8 inch baking dish. Combine cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and chili powder in a mixing bowl. Add eggs or substitute and water. Mix well. Add meat or crumbles, salsa, 1 cup shredded cheese and the corn. Mix well. Pour out into the prepared dish. Bake for 20 minutes, top with remaining cheese. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve in lettuce leaf cups with more salsa.

 

Note: I used egg substitute, soy cheese and meatless crumbles. It was quite tasty and my husband didn't even notice that it wasn't ground beef.
