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. Sweet, spicy, and moist, this cornbread is the best partner for a hearty bowl of Mexican Street Corn Chicken 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.
Recipe

- 3 1/4 cups cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons baking powder

- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1/2 cup minced red bell pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup canola oil

- 1/2 cup HERDEZ® Tomatilla Verde Mexican Cooking Sauce
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions

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!

Delicious! I was skeptical this would come out properly with so much liquid, but it came out moist on the inside with a lovely brown crust on the top. I didn’t have jalapenos or peppers, so did without and had to sub the Herdez cooking sauce for Herdez Tomatilla salsa. This is a delightful, gluten free cornbread that would go wonderfully with chili or soup… or in this case, we enjoyed with black eyed peas and collard greens!
