Can Corn Tortilla's be substituted for the cornbread?

My son liked this dish, but I felt the cornbread mix was too sweet for the seasoning of the meat. So next time I will make my own cornbread batter so I can control the amount of sugar. I may also try this dish using shredded beef instead of ground so that it will be more like a tamale.

Marcy I've been using this homemade mix 1 tablespoon of minced dried onions 2 teaspoons of chili powder. 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. 1 teaspoon of ground cumin. 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or hot paprika. Stir together. Makes the equivalent of a 1 1/4-ounce package of taco seasoning mix.

This must be a repeat recipe because I have made this before - I found the cornbread on top a little too dumpling-like and too moist so I substituted polenta for lower sodium - and wow - really good.
