Southwest Adobe Pie

I have been thinking about developing this recipe for some time and decided to make it for Cinco de Mayo. We are planning a small dinner party for Cinco de Mayo, so I am hoping that my new recipe will be a hit and I hope you will like it to.

    I'm buying some masa for the first time tomorrow to do Pioneer Woman's Chili for my family. I'm going to try this recipe next week. Looks really good.

    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!

    Looks good! I just have to point out that you're cooking like a real Mexican. We always puree our chilies in the blender. :) Love guajillos! :)

    Oh my stars, this looks wonderful! I will have to try it although I've never used masa. Can you believe that??? A Native Texan too ~ :-)

    My apologies re: the mix-up with my post for Thursday's meme. I hope the corrected one works, however, I don't know how to delete the first one, #88. Could not get that original photo to work. :-(

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    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.
