Herdez Mexican Cornbread

After making the Creamy Tomatillo Verde Avocado Salsa in my first post, now I have to use the rest of the Herdez Tomatillo Verde Mexican Cooking Sauce because it tastes so good, it would be a shame to waste.   So I decided to make the Herdez Mexican Cornbread by Paula on Allrecipes.com.  It has become a family favorite of ours.  It goes great with chicken tortilla soup or chili.  It will probably become my go-to cornbread recipe from now on.  It is moist and the pepperjack cheese, Herdez sauce and the jalapeños add just the right amount of spiciness.

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

• Add the milk, oil, corn, jalapeño peppers, and Mexican cooking sauce. Stir well.

Notes

If you do not have creamed corn, add a can of corn into the food processor and process for about a minute. Then it will become thick like creamed corn and you can use that in the recipe.

Look for the Herdez Mexican Cooking sauces in the Mexican aisle of your grocery store. Ask your store manager if they do not yet carry it.  National distribution started in July 2013.

I have now tried all four varieties and they are all wonderful!
