  • Pour the cornbread batter over the cheese layer in the baking dish.

Notes

For best results, ensure that the cornbread batter covers the entire surface evenly to create a nice crust. You can add more cheese on top of the cornbread before baking for extra flavor. Adjust the level of spiciness by choosing mild or hot diced tomatoes with green chilies according to your preference.
