Many of you are familiar with our favorite corn bread recipe. To me, there is nothing really better. However, my sister the other night made a Jalapeno Cheddar version of our cornbread and they were the tastiest muffins around. You have the sweetness of the cornbread with the spicy jalapenos and the melted cheese and it was a match made in heaven! Ever since then we have loved these muffins served with any of our favorite Mexican dishes or soups. These muffins are amazing dipped in a spicy tortilla soup or served along side some pulled pork. No matter what you serve them with, they will be a hit with your whole family!
