Mexican Cornbread

Mexican Cornbread

Everyday

Mexican cornbread is a savory Southwestern U.S. variation of traditional cornbread, characterized by added ingredients like diced chili peppers, shredded cheese, and whole corn kernels. This version typically uses less sugar than its classic counterpart, focusing instead on spicy, umami flavors from jalapeños or poblano peppers blended into the cornmeal base. The result is a moist, dense bread with pockets of melted cheese and occasional heat bursts, often served alongside chili or as a hearty side in Tex-Mex meals.
