Tamale Boats

By David Sweet, About.com

A camping recipe from Gigi. This recipe is an easy one that you can prepare in your RV oven, at the campsite in a Dutch oven, or wrapped in foil by the campfire or over coals.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of tamales (unwrap and slice lengthwise)
  • 1 can of chili (with or without beans)
  • hotdog buns
  • grated cheese
  • onion, chopped (optional)

Preparation:

Open up your hotdog buns and place sliced tamales crisscross on the buns, then pour a topping of chili over each one, sprinkle with some onions, and top with shredded cheese. Then bake in the oven until the cheese is melted. I put these on a cookie sheet to bake, oven at about 350 degrees, for just a few minutes. These are quick and easy.

Servings: 2 - 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
