Green Chili Cornbread is stacked four squares high. Golden cornbread plated on a small white plate reading for the picking.

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.

Green Chili Cornbread stacked four high and almost toppling over. Golden brown!


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 cornmeal.

This is a very simple recipe and you can smear dairy-free butter on the final product … or not. I like them as a snack all by themselves. Nothing else is needed. They are that moist and light.

There’s another cornbread recipe on this blog that is very different also. It’s Date Pecan Cornbread . I kid you not. There’s a mild sweetness that really enhances the bread and it makes a really nice breakfast.

Now back to the spicy! I think when you try this recipe you’ll find that it is one that you will go to over and over again. Made from scratch and perfect every time.

Green Chili Cornbread is golden and piled like a mountain on a white plate.

    I can’t believe that I have never made cornbread, I think you have inspired me to give it a go for the next chilli I whip up. Also going to go and check out your date and pecan cornbread, that sounds quite scrumptious.
