Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 green pork tamales (Oaxaca style), husks removed
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (from 3 lb deli rotisserie chicken)

    Heat oven to 400° F. In a 13x9-inch glass baking dish (3-quart), place the tamales (husked) so the bottom is completely covered (you may have to cut some in half).

    In medium bowl, mix chicken and salsa; spoon over tamales. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover dish tightly with foil sprayed with cooking spray to avoid sticking.
