Steps:
- For the Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and generously spray 9 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter and dark brown sugar in a large bowl. Fold the cornmeal mixture, jalapeños and Cheddar into the buttermilk mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some small lumps).
- Divide the batter evenly among the 9 greased muffin cups. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then run an offset spatula around the edges of each muffin and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- For the taco soup: While the muffins bake, make the taco soup. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chili powder, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the beef broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans and green chiles, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then simmer, partially covered, until the meat and beans are very tender and the sauce thickens slightly, 35 to 45 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Ladle into bowls and top with diced avocado, sour cream and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and the Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins.

BACON-CHEDDAR-JALAPEñO MUFFINS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the corn on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes, until the kernels have toasty brown spots. Set aside to cool.
- Line a plate with paper towels.
- Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat has been rendered and the edges are golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the paper towels to drain. Set aside.
- Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Put the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, milk powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, oil, and water; mix until well incorporated.
- Add the corn, cheese, jalapeño, and chives; mix gently just until incorporated.
- Spoon a scant 75g (⅓ cup) of batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the tops with additional cheese and the bacon.
- Bake the muffins until golden brown around the edges and a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes to ensure even baking. Remove the muffins from the pan and cool completely on a cooling rack. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day (or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days).
Tips:
- For a more flavorful muffin, use a sharp cheddar cheese.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
Cheddar muffins are a delicious and versatile snack or breakfast food. They can be enjoyed on their own, or served with butter, jam, or your favorite condiment. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a cheddar muffin recipe that everyone will enjoy.
