Recipe For Cooking Tamale Hash

Toaster Oven Casseroles :: Grain and Noodle Casseroles

Tamale Hash

4 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. canola oil
1 med. onion, chopped
8 tamales, any variety, cut into bite-size chunks
4 eggs
Red or green chile sauce, warmed
Tomatoes and scallions, chopped
Crema or sour cream
Cheddar cheese, grated

In a heavy skillet, warm butter and oil over med. heat. If the tamales are fairly dry, use about a Tbsp. more of oil. Add onion and sauté until very soft. Add tamale pieces and stir them in gently. Cover the skillet for 2 to 3 min. to let the mixture steam and heat through, developing a little crust on a few pieces. Keep the mixture warm while preparing the eggs either sunny-side up or scrambled.

Spoon the tamale mixture onto plates. Arrange an egg over each and add a generous amount of sauce. Top with the tomato, scallions, crema and cheese. Serve immediately.
