  3. Oh my gosh! This looks soo good. There is always something new out there to learn about cooking and I've learned a lot from you! I've never cooked with the Masa dough. I make something like this but top it with sweet cornbread instead...I can't wait to try this dough!
    Great idea! Thank you for sharing this!

  24. Great recipe. I'm bookmarking this one. I was just looking at the "Taco Pie" another blogger posted and was wondering what I could use instead of cornbread topping. When I saw this a light bulb went off in my head. I bought a big bag of masa to make arepas with, and now I have my answer. Thanks for the incentive and lovely recipe.
