Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Grease an 8x8 baking pan.
  2. Peel and dice half an onion. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add frozen veggies, tomatoes, 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (use more or less depending on your spice preference), taco seasoning, black beans and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir together and bring to a simmer. Cook until combined and slightly thickened.

  5. Pour bean and vegetable filling into greased pan. Spoon cornbread batter on top, using a spoon to spread it as evenly as possible. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cornbread topping is golden brown.
  6. Serve tamale pie with wedges of lime and cilantro. Enjoy!
