Sun-dried Tomato and Corn Tamale Cakes, or cornbread cakes, are delicious and flavorful. They’re full of jalapenos, red peppers, and tomatoes and topped with cheese, corn, and green onions.

These cakes are kind of like a pancake and kind of like a hoecake. They’re so good!

They can be a snack, appetizer, or main dish. For an entree, they’re good topped with spicy shrimp. I like to eat them plain as a snack. They’re also good sides with chili, beef stew, and soup. I like them for breakfast with an over-easy egg and Blender Hollandaise.

Additionally, they’re so tasty topped with sour cream and bacon or any of these sauces.

  1. Remoulade
  2. White Barbecue Sauce
  3. Mango Salsa
  4. Avocado Mango Salsa
  5. Fresh Salsa or pico

 

Additionally, you can deep fry the mixture like a hushpuppy. However, I tried to bake them and didn’t love how they turned out. They did not have that crispy outside which is part of what I enjoy about them.

 

They really made a beautiful presentation and had a light, refreshing flavor.

 The dough should be thick, think cookie dough thick.

 I baked these, but you could fry them on the stove-top.

WHAT DO I SERVE THESE WITH?

As I mentioned earlier, they’re good with soup, chili, and stew. But, don’t stop there! They’re a good bread side so whatever you typically serve cornbread with is good. I particularly enjoy them with Healthy Slow Cooker Tex Mex Chicken Soup, Southwestern Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers, and Tex Mex Skillet Pasta since these entree recipes have Mexican and Tex-Mex flavors.

Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary based on the products used.

I updated this post from an earlier version dated April 26, 2013. I made new photos and simplified the recipe instructions.

      We make a good pair then because cooking the main dishes or sides doesn’t excite me (most of the time)! If we lived closer we could trade and have complete meals 🙂
