Recipe: Beef and Cheese Tamale Pie

1/2 of WHAT of cilantro? A branch, a cup, a tablespoon??? Please post a correction or clarification.
Thank you.

It had to be a half cup, no other measure would have fit . That's the way I read it, that't the way I made it and that's the way my co workers ate it!
I thought it was a little labor intensive but it made a delicious dish.
The corn meal batter thickened too quickly on me but I'm not used to an electric stove and may have misjudged the heat.
None the less, it was very good.....especially with a big old glop of sour cream. I'll certainly make it again!
