All the Tamale Taste in one hot dish!

Sometimes my recipes turn out delicious, but definitely not something that would grace the cover of Bon Apetite.

Instead of making this in once big dish I decided to try something a bit more creative.

I divided this recipe into individual ramekins! Each serving was just the right size and could be served piping hot on a plate with beans and rice. How adorable is that?

I love that this recipe also used a cornbread mix. It is something I usually have on hand.

Trust me on this one, having a casserole that mimics the flavors of a tamale is golden! I took a tamale making class once and it was so much work.

This is what Stephanie of Plain Chicken has to say about this super easy and super fast recipe.

I used rotisserie chicken in this dish, and it only took minutes to assemble. I served it with some lime wedges and black beans. You must squeeze a lime wedge over this dish (and the black beans). It gave it a little zing and really put the flavors over the top. I am adding this to our dinner rotation. You should do the same.

Quick Tip: I love that you can buy a rotisserie chicken at Costco for less than 5.00! Perfect to use in this recipe if you are short on time!

 This plate is full of flavor without being full of guilt!

Sometimes it is easy to be jealous of someones’ plate. Especially if you are counting calories or carbs!

Trust me I know! I have been dieting my whole life and there is nothing more frustrating than trying to cut back on your calorie intake, knowing that you will not be eating the food you love! Sure, this might mean that the super cheesy sour cream chicken enchiladas don’t take front and center on the menu, but when you add in great options like this salad you won’t even miss it.

I also love that you can have all the ingredients prepped and ready to toss together during the week for lunches. I think one of the things that sabotages alot of our eating is the fact we don’t plan ahead and have food that is healthy ready to eat WHEN we are hungry. As a result we end up just grabbing something from the snack bar, the food truck, drive-thru, or the fridge.

Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your taste and needs. On a Weight Watchers point program? Cut down on the corn and beans and add in bell peppers and spicy pickled carrots.

This is what Erin of Well Plated has to say about her yummy salad.

This Skinny Taco Salad is also ideal for meal prep. Chop the veggies and cook the turkey in advance and store them individually in the refrigerator. Then throughout the week, you can quickly assemble individual portions and add any other toppings you desire.

Quick Tip: If you are taking this salad to work or on your next picnic, consider layering the ingredients with the dressing on the bottom, followed by meat, beans, corn, tomatoes, and then lettuce last. When ready to serve turn it upside down on a plate or bowl.
