Instructions

1.In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, buttermilk and 1/4 tsp salt and mix well.

5.To assemble, spread approximately 1/4 cup of the masa dough onto the center of a piece of Reynolds Wrap Foil (Non-Stick). Spread the mixture out into a rectangle shape. Add approximately 2 tbsp of the beef and bean filling to the center of the dough. Add 1 tbsp of grated Monterey jack cheese and 1 tbsp of softened cream cheese.
6.Roll up the foil, making sure the fillings are tightly packed inside. Secure the ends. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
