 In our house we love tamales, although the ones we can buy here does not compare to the beautiful fluffy tamales from my hometown, we still enjoy a Tex-Mex tamal.

When we buy tamales there are always some leftovers and I like to use them to make a"Tamalon" this is how my family named this recipe and I like to call it "Tamale Casserole", sounds less aggressive I think, LOL.

I have made this casserole in the past but I used bean tamales and chicken, you can find it here: https://pin.it/2oObH8O

This recipe is very versatile, you can change the salsa, the meat, the tamales and even the cheese, so every time you make it you can give it a little twist.
