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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a cast iron skillet.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Fold in the crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheddar cheese (if using), making sure they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan or skillet, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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!
