MEXICAN CORNBREAD



Mexican Cornbread image

An easy recipe for cheesy Mexican cornbread from scratch! Made with jalapeño, gooey cheese, and a can of Mexicorn, it's moist, delicious, and not too spicy.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 cup yellow cornmeal (I like medium grind for the texture)
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 eggs (at room temperature)
1 cup low-fat buttermilk (at room temperature; or 1 cup 2% milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar)
1 1/2 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar, cheddar jack, or pepper jack cheese, or a mix (divided)
1 (7-ounce) can Mexican-style corn (drained (about 1 cup))
1 large jalapeño pepper (seeded, membranes removed, and minced)
2 green onions (chopped, divided (about 1/4 cup))

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two opposite sides like handles. Lightly coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a large, separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the eggs to the bowl with the melted butter and whisk until blended. Stir in the buttermilk and honey. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and, by hand, stir gently just until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Gently stir in 1 cup of the cheese, corn, jalapeño peppers, and half of the green onions. Let the batter sit at room temperature for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven.
  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining green onions and 1/2 cup cheese on top. Bake the cornbread for 28 to 32 minutes, or until center is set, the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan, then using the parchment paper, lift it onto a cutting board. For tidy slicing, let cool completely. For warm, messy slices, cut right away and enjoy!

1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
½ pound ground beef
⅓ pound Easy Homemade Mexican Chorizo (read post for why homemade is recommended)
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
2 chipotles en adobo, chopped + 2 teaspoons adobo sauce

For the Cornbread:
1½ cups cornmeal
2½ cups milk

1 tablespoon baking powder
½ cup oil (I use coconut oil, melted before adding)
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, top with the Cheddar cheese, and bake for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

SOUTHWESTERN CORNBREAD STUFFING (DRESSING)



Southwestern Cornbread Stuffing (Dressing) image

Over the years I've developed my own version of cornbread dressing. We like it spicey but you can control the 'heat' by omitting the jalapenos. In a pinch I've even made with a small can of diced mild green chiles. This is a very forgiving dish so feel free to experiment . . . add some corn, etc.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornbread: Stale cornbread will make your stuffing dry and crumbly. If you don't have fresh cornbread, you can make your own using a box mix or a recipe from scratch.
  • Don't overstuff the cornbread: The stuffing should be light and fluffy, not dense and heavy. If you overstuff the cornbread, it will be difficult to cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your stuffing will be. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Season the stuffing well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices. Some good options include sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the stuffing until it is heated through: The stuffing should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that it is safe to eat.

Conclusion:

Mexican cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cornbread, and it is also a great way to get your family and friends to eat more vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your Mexican cornbread stuffing is perfect every time.
