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.
