Making the Batter
To make the perfect Mexican cornbread, you first need to make the batter. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a mixing bowl, combine yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together until well combined. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and buttermilk together, then pour it into the dry mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Adding Some Heat
To give your Mexican cornbread that signature spicy kick, you'll need to add some heat. Jalapeños are a popular choice, but you can also use green chilies or chipotle peppers. Chop them up and add them to the batter, mixing them in evenly. Don't be afraid to add a little extra if you like your cornbread extra spicy.
Adding a Cheesy Twist
For an extra layer of flavor, add some shredded cheddar cheese to the batter. The cheese will melt in the oven, creating pockets of gooey deliciousness in every bite. Mix it in gently so that the cheese doesn't clump together.
Baking the Cornbread
Once your batter is ready, pour it into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Smooth out the top with a spatula and then bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Mexican cornbread is best served warm and pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes. It's a great accompaniment to chili or barbecue. You can also serve it as a side dish for tacos or enchiladas. Or, if you want to make it the star of the show, top it with some chili con carne and sour cream for a delicious and filling meal.
Now that you know how to make Mexican cornbread, it's time to get creative and make it your own. You can experiment with different ingredients and toppings to create a unique and flavorful dish that will be sure to impress. So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and treat yourself to a taste of Mexico in every bite.
