From time to time, I cook a pork shoulder and pull the pork to be used with a few different meals. This is a recipe I came up with that may not be a traditional tamale but the ingredients meet the criteria and it is a filling comfort food. There is no reason why you couldn't substitute shredded chicken or ground beef for the pork.

My husband and I loved this meal enough that we will definitely get through all the leftovers! I made a few minor tweaks, mostly just based on personal preferences and what I had on hand: -I seasoned the pork before I cooked it (in the crock pot) with onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt and cumin. I would probably do this again. -I used diced tomatoes with green chilies, about half a 10-ounce can, instead of just green chilies. -I made my own cornbread instead of using a mix. It covered the top generously. -I left off the cheese, and didn't miss it. We'll be adding this to our rotation!

I really didn’t enjoy pulling pork for this recipe, but I did it anyway. Next time I would chop up pork, chicken or use ground beef. This will be lunches/dinners for the next few days. Unless I decide to box some up for my local servers.

Made it my own by substituting red enchilada sauce with green; adding 2 fresh jalapeños and sautéed with onions lots of garlic, chipotle chili powder, cumin , s&p before adding to pork; omitting black olives and using a whole cans of white kernel corn and whole can of black beans. I know a lot of subs and changes but made it perfect for our Texas tastes and will totally make again!

This was quick and easy to make with leftover pulled pork.

Due to the shortage of some grocery items, I had to make some adjustments but it was still very good.
