• 1 cup frozen corn

Cornbread

• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, granulated
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 jalapeño, small, chopped

Garnish

• 1 jalapeño, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

1. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrot, and bell pepper and stir. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
2. Add the oregano, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, cinnamon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Add the tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and corn and stir to combine.
4. Add the lime juice and vegetable broth and stir. Increase the heat to high and bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
6. In the meantime, prepare the cornbread batter: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and milk until well-combined.
7. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
8. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Add the jalapeño and stir to incorporate.
9. Remove the chili from the heat. Pour the cornbread batter over the chili and use a spatula to smooth the top and make sure it covers the chili completely.
10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cornbread is fully cooked and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
11. Garnish the cornbread with sliced jalapeño and chopped cilantro.
