Tamale Muffins
Ingredients: (makes 12 muffins)
- 2 boxes Jiffy cornbread mix
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 c. milk
- 1 lb. ground beef or turkey
- 2 T. taco seasoning (or taco packet in a pinch)
- 1 can kidney or pinto beans
- 1 can sliced black olives
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/3 c. water
- 1/3 c. shredded cheese
serving suggestion: top with salsa (we used a peach version of this salsa)
(8 WW pts per muffin)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium high heat, until browned and cooked through. Drain the fat, then add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
2. Add beans, olives, seasoning, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 10-15 minutes until veggies are cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated.
3. Meanwhile, make cornbread batter according to box directions.
5. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes; serve with salsa.
so hard to wait for these to cool!
I pinned these awhile ago, but am hoping to try them soon. I'm wondering about serving sizes, any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI was doing WW at the time and they are 8 pts each, so I had two. Annalyn ate not quite a whole one, and Mike had 3 (though I remember him saying he could've eaten more). So I'd figure 2-3 each for adults and 1 for kiddos, especially if you serve any sides.
