Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked, shredded pulled pork
- 1 can (15 oz) of corn, drained
- 1 can (10 oz) of red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 jalapeño, chopped (optional for some heat)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want it nice and warm for your casserole to come out just right.
- In a large bowl, combine the masa harina, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and chili powder. Mix it well.
- Gradually add in the chicken broth while stirring until you get a smooth consistency. You want it to be a bit thick like dough.
- In a greased baking dish, spread half of the masa mixture evenly across the bottom.
- Layer the pulled pork over the masa base, then pour the enchilada sauce on top. Scatter the corn evenly, then sprinkle jalapeños if you’re feeling brave!
- Pour the remaining masa mixture over the top and spread it out gently. Finally, top with shredded cheese for that melty, deliciousness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. You’ll know it’s ready when your kitchen smells irresistible!
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Serve it up and enjoy with your favorite sides or by itself. Trust me, this dish will disappear fast!
