Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 28

For the Filling:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
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
1 teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons chili powder
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1½ teaspoon salt
½ can corn, drained
½ can black beans, drained
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
1½ cups grated Cheddar cheese
For the Cornbread:
1½ cups cornmeal
2½ cups milk
2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
⅓ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
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.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the onions until soft, 5-7 minutes. Add the ground beef and chorizo and cook until no longer pink. Add the spices and cook for another minute.
  • Add the tomatoes, chipotles and adobo sauce and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Add the corn, black beans, parsley/cilantro and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • To make the cornbread:
  • Combine the cornmeal and milk in a large mixing bowl and let sit for at least 20 minutes while you're preparing the meat filling.
  • In another bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and beat just until combined, leaving some lumps. Add the oil and eggs and beat just until combined. Be careful not to overmix or the cornbread will be dry and dense.
  • Pour half of the batter into a greased 9X13 inch baking dish. Spoon the filling evenly over the batter then top with the remaining batter.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, top with the Cheddar cheese, and bake for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

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!

Tips:

  • To achieve the best texture for your cornbread, use a combination of cornmeal and all-purpose flour. This will give it a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the interior moist and tender.
  • To add extra flavor and texture, try using different types of cornmeal, such as blue or white cornmeal. You can also add other ingredients like chopped jalapeños, black beans, or corn kernels to the batter.
  • Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cornbread. This will help ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn't become dry or overcooked.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough and dense. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
