CORNBREAD-JALAPENO MUFFINS



Cornbread-Jalapeno Muffins image

I created this recipe when my wife offered to bring something to her brother Justin's New Year's Eve party. In a way that only those who are brought up together can get away with, she was told that he never likes anything that she brings. He then relented and said she could bring the cornbread. After a bit of experimenting, this is what we came up with. Everyone at the party agreed that this cornbread was awesome, and much better than any cornbread Justin ever made. Gotta love sibling rivalries.

TACO SOUP WITH JALAPEñO-CHEDDAR CORNBREAD MUFFINS



Taco Soup with Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins image

This taco soup is a marriage of soup and chili in the best way possible. Ground beef and fresh chorizo get browned and simmered with chili powder, cumin and paprika until fragrant. Then fire-roasted tomatoes and mild green chiles are stirred in for a Tex-Mex twist. Quickly whip up jalapeño and Cheddar cornbread muffins to serve on the side, and top with sour cream, cilantro and some diced avocado for a hearty, family-friendly meal.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings; makes 9 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 32

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.

JALAPENO CHEDDAR PARMESAN CORNBREAD MUFFINS image

Categories     Bread     Cheese     Egg     Appetizer     Side     Bake     Picnic     Super Bowl     Buffet     Spring     Summer

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons honey
2 large eggs
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced, plus more for topping
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for topping
1/2 cup shredded cheddar, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. (If you don't want to use paper liners, you could coat a muffin pan with cooking spray instead.) In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and pepper, to taste. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together the butter, buttermilk, honey and eggs. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist. Add the jalapeño, Parmesan and cheddar and gently toss to combine. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray. Top with sliced jalapeno, using your fingertips to gently press the jalapeno into the batter. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cheddar. Place into oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: Use a finely ground cornmeal for a smooth texture and a medium or coarse ground cornmeal for a more rustic texture.
  • Use fresh or frozen corn kernels: If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob and then rinse and drain them. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a light and fluffy interior.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Cornbread jalapeño muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or picnics. With their slightly spicy flavor and moist texture, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty treat, give these cornbread jalapeño muffins a try!
