Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Serves: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup cornmeal
  3. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  4. 1 teaspoon salt
  5. 1 cup milk
  6. 2 large eggs
  7. 1 cup cooked chili
  8. 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended and free of lumps.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until thoroughly combined. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it.
  4. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in the cooked chili and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve warm, optionally with additional chili, sour cream, or chopped green onions as garnish.

Tips

  1. Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
  2. Don't overmix the batter - slight lumps are your friend for a tender crumb.
  3. For extra flavor, use homemade chili or a robust, well-seasoned store-bought version.
  4. Check doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean with no wet batter.
  5. Let the bread cool slightly before slicing to help it set and make cutting easier.
  6. Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack for an extra kick.
  7. Serve warm for the most delicious experience, and pair with a dollop of sour cream or fresh salsa.
