Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the sweet corn kernels.
Cook the Tamale Cakes
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each tamale cake. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Prepare the Toppings
While the tamale cakes are cooking, prepare your toppings: chop fresh pico de gallo, mash avocados for guacamole, and crumble queso fresco.
Serve
Serve the tamale cakes warm with dollops of chipotle mayo, salsa verde, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco for added flavor.
