Mexican Cornbread Recipe
Cornmeal is a great side dish for so many types of meals. I love making it with chili and soup and it even tastes great with pasta. Once you taste how amazing this cornbread is, you will never reach for the box stuff again.
Ingredients
- Cornmeal – Cornmeal is the main ingredient in making cornbread.
- Flour- You want to use all purpose flour but it is ok if you only have self rising flour.
- Sugar- A little sugar goes a long way when making cornbread. You want to add a touch of sweetness while not being too sweet.
- Baking powder- If you are using self rising flour, do not add the baking powder
- Baking soda– Baking soda helps the cornbread to rise slightly.
- Salt- Salt brings out the flavors in this recipe
- Eggs- Your eggs do not need to be at room temperature for this recipe.
- Buttermilk- Buttermilk helps to cut through the fat in the recipe and gives the cornbread a great taste.
- Vegetable oil- Canola oil can also be used.
- Creamed corn- The creamed corn gives the corn flavor and taste while keeping the same consistency of cornbread.
- Green onion- Using the green tops of green onions gives the flavors of onion without the taste being overwhelming.
- Red pepper- Any type of pepper you prefer can be used instead of red peppers.
- Cheddar cheese- If you don’t have cheddar cheese, Mexican cheese can also be used.

What Peppers Can I Add to This Cornbread?
I like to add small pieces of red pepper to the cornbread. You can also add jalapeno or other spicy peppers to the corn bread if you want a bit of a kick to the cornbread.
Can I Freeze Cornbread for Later?
I love to make a large batch of cornbread and save half of it for later. I like to cut the cornbread into slices and then wrap each slice in plastic wrap. Keep all of the slices together in a freezer bag.
