Yield

Serves: 4 servings

Preparation

 

 

Preheat oven to 400F.

 

Mix 2 packages muffin mix together with eggs, melted butter and milk. Wipe a large, oven-safe (double wrap the handle in aluminum foil if its plastic), non-stick skillet with a little oil and pour in the muffin mix.

 

 

Place pan in center of the oven and bake until cornbread is light golden in color, 12-15 minutes.

 

Place a second skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Add chicken and cook until brown, breaking it up and stirring it as it cooks. Add onions, zucchini, red bell pepper, jalapeo, cumin, coriander, taco sauce and salt, and cook meat 5 minutes more.

 

 

 

 

Remove cornbread from oven (dont turn it off yet) and top with meat/veggie mixture, covering the entire surface of the cornbread. Sprinkle cheese, tomatoes and olives on top of that.

 

 

Transfer pan back to oven and cook 5 minutes more to melt cheese.
