Chile Rellenos Cornbread

We love cornbread at our house! It is always a great addition to any meal. My family has been loving the Mexican flavors lately, so it was the perfect time to try a new twist to an old favorite! It would take any dinner up a level, even if it’s not a Mexican themed meal.    

TIPS AND TRICKS

HEAT: This version is quite mild but if you love the heat, add a diced jalapeno or a pinch of red pepper flakes. STORAGE: You can make this ahead of time and store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days. CORN: We used creamed corn but if you prefer whole kernel corn, go head, it’s will achieve the same consistency. CHEESE: I think a Mexican blend is the perfect cheese for this dish, you can use other types of cheese. VEGGIES: The addition of sautéed onions and diced chicken would be a delicious twist to this recipe.
