Add Mexican flair to traditional cornbread dressing with jalapeño pepper, chorizo sausage, cheese, red bell pepper and cilantro.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in oven as it preheats.
Step 2
To prepare corn bread, weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 6 ingredients (through eggs) in a large bowl; fold in cheese.
Step 3
Remove skillet from oven. Coat pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into hot skillet. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Crumble corn bread into a large bowl.
Step 4
To prepare dressing, remove seeds and membrane from half of jalapeño. Coarsely chop both jalapeño halves. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chorizo; sauté 2 minutes. Add jalapeño, bell pepper, and onions; sauté 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chorizo mixture to corn bread mixture; stir in baguette, cilantro, egg whites, and broth, stirring until bread is moist.
Step 5
Spoon corn bread mixture into a 13 x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with lime wedges.

i can't believe this got such low ratings from others. i like spicy food and i thought it had the perfect amount of spice. i made it last year and will be making it again this year. i do add in more chorizo and use more broth

This was very dry and bland. For all of the work that it takes I expected it to be out of this world delicious. I did add some garlic salt to try to give it more flavor. I think that if I make it again, I'll use more chorizo and add some minced garlic to the veggies when I'm sauteeing them. In addition, it needs quite a bit more chicken broth.

I added a full jalapeno, 3 Chorizo links and didn't use the red pepper for more taste. I really like a new spin on stuffing. Will also double the amount of broth next time.

Very good recipe! Jalapeno adds just the right amount of flavor. I doubled the amount of broth and used spicy Italian sausage instead of Chirozo. This will be my standard corn bread dressing recipe for all future Thanksgivings.

Dislike! Dry and bland. I think I'll stick to traditional, full fat recipes for the holidays.
