| Years ago I had a recipe for a type of pancake/tortillla made with cornmeal --- used to layer a stack of them with chili, onions, tomatoes, cheese and salsa - for a great throw together Mex meal.
Haven't made this dish in years and can't find recipe now. Any ideas on what this recipe is? Thanks. |

| Sounds like what we call corn cakes? It's really nothing more than a cornbread batter that is ladled onto a hot griddle or frying pan just like you would pancakes. In the south we use self-rising cornmeal mix, add an egg, a TB of sugar (or not) some bacon drippings or oil, and buttermilk; mix it all in a bowl and ladle about 1/4 cup per cake; cook until brown on the first side and flip to cook the other side. The are good with fresh corn kernels added to the batter too. Just google corn cakes or corn pancakes or use your favorite cornbread recipe. If the batter seems too thick just add a little more milk or buttermilk. |

| Maybe something like this? Can be layered with chicken, beans, etc.... I prefer homemade corn tortillas but store bought will work too. Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table Stacked Enchiladas
Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour vegetable oil into a medium , heavy skilled to depth of 1/2 inch. Heat the oil over medium high heat to 375°F, or until a strip of tortilla browns in 60 seconds. Soften the tortillas, one at a time, for about 5 seconds per side in the hot oil and drain on paper towels.
Heat the green chili sauce in a shallow pan and dip each softened tortilla into the sauce. Place 1 coated tortilla on an oven proof plate and top with 1 tablespoons green chili sauce, 2 tablespoons grated cheese and 1 tablespoon chopped onion; repeat twice so that 1 serving contains 3 layered tortillas. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 tortilla stacks. Bake the stacks for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts. NOTE: Add cooked chicken and or pinto or black beans between layers. 1 Jalapeno chili seeded and diced Pour the chicken stock mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the Anaheim chilies, cilantro and lime juice; puree until smooth. Add salt and pepper. Add the cream and mix again. Serve warm. Keep 1 to 2 days refrigerated. ) |
