For this Mexican cornbread, you will need cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, butter, canned corn, green chilies, and shredded cheese. You can use any type of cornmeal, but for an authentic Mexican flavor, we recommend using masa harina, a type of corn flour commonly used in Mexican cuisine.
Making the Batter
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cornmeal, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs and add in 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until well combined.
Add a Kick of Flavor
To give your Mexican cornbread an extra kick of flavor, add in 1 cup of canned corn and 1/2 cup of diced green chilies. These ingredients will add a burst of sweetness and spiciness to your cornbread. For an even bolder flavor, you can also mix in some diced jalapenos or chopped cilantro. Once all the ingredients are mixed together, pour the batter into the greased baking dish.
Baking and Serving
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, remove the cornbread from the oven and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once cooled, slice and serve your Mexican cornbread as a side dish to your favorite Mexican-inspired meal, or enjoy it on its own as a tasty snack.
