Green Chili Cornbread fills the bill for Tex Mex cuisine. Cornbread is perfect to help cut the heat and compliment any bean dish, chili or tamale.
Tex Mex cuisine needs a bread and this Green Chili Cornbread fills the bill. Don’t get me wrong – tortillas are indispensable in so many Mexican meals but sometimes you want a bread next to that chili or tamale. Cornbread is perfect to help cut the heat and compliment that meal. Diced green chilis are added for that spicy flavor and I go with mild chilis because I think it blends better with the cornmeal. This is a very simple recipe and you can smear butter on the final product or not. I like them as a lunch with lots of butter. Nothing else, just the cornbread and butter. I think when you try this recipe you will find that it is one that you will go to over and over again.

After the cornbread has cooled you may freeze them in any of the methods shown in my article Preparing Food for the Freezer.
