Red Chile Chicken Tamale Bowl

Think of this satisfying bowl as a deconstructed tamale with all of the bold flavor and none of the time-intensive prep. At its base, there's a deliciously tender masa corn cake reminiscent of cornbread. Juicy chicken thighs (seasoned with ancho chile powder, smoked paprika, and cumin) are shredded and tossed with our custom red chile sauce for spicy, smoky intensity, then mounded atop the corn cake and finished with a sprinkle of queso fresco. For an earthy, tangy accent, we paired roasted sweet potatoes and bell pepper with a pickled jalapeño crema.

If you love spicy chicken wings, look no further. Our wings are marinated in a flavor-packed blend of fire-roasted red peppers, guajillo, ancho, and cayenne chiles, and spices like smoked paprika, cumin, and caraway, all sweetened with a kiss of honey and agave. We toss the wings with harissa powder—a staple ingredient of North African cuisine—before roasting to juicy perfection. On the side is a mildly spiced harissa sauce for dipping.
