SPICY CORNBREAD OR CORNBREAD MUFFINS
This is my version of Mexican cornbread. It's got a bit of a kick to it. It will be as mild or hot as your pico de gallo is.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels: Fresh corn kernels give the muffins a sweet and juicy flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them rise and give them a crispy crust.
- Serve the muffins warm: Cornbread muffins are best served warm out of the oven. You can also store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
