Instructions
- Add masa harina, water, melted butter and salt to a bowl. Mix until the masa has absorbed the liquids and forms a cohesive mass when squeezed with your hand. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside while you make the filling.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook about 1 minute.
- Add frozen corn, diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers, tomato paste, beans, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of cheddar cheese.
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Lightly spray 9 inch pie pan with non-stock spray and press the masa mixture into the pan to form an even layer on the bottoms and sides of the pan.
- Pour the hot filling onto the crust, top with remaining cheddar cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted, bubbling and slightly golden.
- Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with suggested toppings if desired.
- Enjoy!
