A DIFFERENT TAMALE PIE

A DIFFERENT TAMALE PIE
For this recipe, I modernised it a bit, swapping the minced beef for flavour-absorbing chicken mince, also added chipotle peppers for a smoky spicy flavour and upped the amount of tomatoes. Some recipes call for corn in the meat mixture, but corn wasn’t in season so I left it out. I don’t think it would be entirely out of place and might even make this dish more of a complete meal.
