Spice up your cornbread with some flavorful pickled jalapeño.
The secret to my flavorful Mexican cornbread is the pickled jalapeños rather than fresh, raw jalapeños.
You can get these in a “tamed” variety for less heat or go for the full heat. Your choice. Or, if you’re lucky enough to have some homemade pickled peppers in your pantry, give those a go. No matter which you choose, you’ll need to drain them well and dice them.
