1 box JIFFY corn muffin mix
1 egg
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. creamed corn
1/3 c. red enchilada sauce
1 onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. cumin
1 t. chili powder
1 lb. ground beef
1 c. Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 c. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
small handful chopped cilantro leaves, optional
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare cornbread. In a medium bowl, mix together corn muffin mix, sour cream and egg; pour into a large cast iron skillet; bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let cool slightly in skillet.
Meanwhile, make taco meat. Sauté onions over medium heat; season with salt, pepper and spices; cook until soft. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ground beef; stir to break up meat. Season to taste; sauté until cooked through. Remove skillet from stovetop; discard excess fat.
Poke entire surface of cornbread with a fork; pour enchilada sauce over the cornbread. Add meat mixture; top with shredded cheese. Cover with foil; bake until the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Remove foil; broil until cheese begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
Top with cilantro, if desired.
