Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 large jalapeño, minced
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, finely diced (about 1/4-inch dice)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound 80% lean ground beef chuck
8 ounces fresh chorizo, casings removed
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 red or orange bell pepper, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
One 28-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
Two 15.5-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
Two 4-ounce cans diced mild green chiles
Diced avocado, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Fresh cilantro, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and generously spray 9 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter and dark brown sugar in a large bowl. Fold the cornmeal mixture, jalapeños and Cheddar into the buttermilk mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some small lumps).
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 9 greased muffin cups. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then run an offset spatula around the edges of each muffin and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • For the taco soup: While the muffins bake, make the taco soup. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chili powder, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the beef broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans and green chiles, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then simmer, partially covered, until the meat and beans are very tender and the sauce thickens slightly, 35 to 45 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with diced avocado, sour cream and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and the Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins.

  • Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Put the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, milk powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, oil, and water; mix until well incorporated.
  • Add the corn, cheese, jalapeño, and chives; mix gently just until incorporated.
  • Spoon a scant 75g (⅓ cup) of batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the tops with additional cheese and the bacon.
  • Bake the muffins until golden brown around the edges and a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes to ensure even baking. Remove the muffins from the pan and cool completely on a cooling rack. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day (or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days).

Yield 6-8 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1 pinch cayenne
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
1 1/4 cups coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Grease 12 muffin cups.
  • Blend flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and cayenne.
  • Beat egg with milk and butter.
  • Add to dry ingredients.
  • Stir until thoroughly moistened.
  • Stir in 1 cup of the cheese and spoon into muffin cups.
  • Sprinkle 1 tsp of cheese over each muffin.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve hot with butter or freeze and reheat right before serving.

Tips:

  • Muffin Pan Preparation: Ensure your muffin pan is properly greased or lined with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  • Ingredient Temperature: Bring eggs and milk to room temperature before mixing. This helps the ingredients blend more evenly and results in a smoother batter.
  • Mixing Technique: Avoid over-mixing the batter. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Over-mixing can result in dense and tough muffins.
  • Cheese Distribution: For even distribution of cheddar cheese throughout the muffins, toss the shredded cheese with a small amount of flour before adding it to the batter.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: The ideal baking temperature for these cheddar muffins is 400°F (200°C). Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cooling and Serving: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.
