It’s not only loaded up with lots of melty Mexican cheeses, kernels of sweet corn, and spicy jalapeno peppers, but it’s also super moist from a “secret ingredient” I’ve been using for years to make the best cornbread. There’s no need to buy a box of Jiffy cornbread mix or anything else from the store. Everything you need is right here. Let’s talk about how to make Mexican cornbread, shall we?
Whole Milk. Melted Butter. Large Eggs. Creamed Corn. Creamed corn is the “secret ingredient” that make the cornbread nice and moist. Cornmeal. All Purpose Flour. Sugar. Baking Powder. Baking Soda. Salt and Pepper. To taste. Jalapeño Peppers. Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend. Use your favorites like asadero, machego, chihuahua, though you can also use melty cheeses like Monterey jack cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, or pepper jack cheese. Corn Kernels. Frozen or canned are great.
Be sure not to overmix for the best cornbread texture. Stir in the jalapenos, shredded Mexican blend of cheese, and corn kernels, if using them. Pour the batter into a lightly oiled baking dish (or a cast iron skillet) and bake until the cornbread sets - nice and golden brown - and a toothpick inserted comes out dry in the center. I like to top the cornbread mix with extra shredded cheese before baking. Keep warm covered in aluminum foil. Boom! Done! Your Mexican cornbread is ready to serve. Easy enough to make, isn’t it? Serve it as a flavorful side dish, or make an extra batch and serve it as your main.

You can also freeze it for 2-3 months in freezer-safe plastic wrap. That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy this Mexican cornbread recipe. Let me know if you make it. I’d love to hear how it turned out for you, and if you decided to spice it up!
