Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (crushed) Tortilla chips
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a cast iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheddar cheese (if using), making sure they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan or skillet, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
