This pie is a simplified version of a tamale. You don't have to stuff each piece of corn dough with filling and wrap it in a corn husk. Instead, simply cook the filling—meat sauce—in a skillet, cover it with a layer of dough, and bake in the oven. A 10-inch cast-iron skillet is best for making tamales.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 200°C.
Heat oil in a 10-inch (25 cm) cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, onion, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring and breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until browned and the onion is soft, about 6 minutes.

Add the tomato paste, chili powder, and cumin and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the enchilada sauce, beans, corn, and cilantro, and season with salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese.
Place cornmeal in a bowl. Add the sour milk and butter and stir. The mixture should be thick but pourable. Add the green onions.
Pour the mixture over the meat mixture in the skillet and spread it into an even layer. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
