Snoop Dog’s Cornbread Muffins

It’s September! Cozy meals are now on the menu and I am so stinkin’ excited. Hearty Chili’s, big pots of soup and stock it’s my favorite kind of food. Along with your chili, you need a little something extra to soak up all that goodness. In comes Snoop Dog’s cornbread muffins. To be honest I ate these warm with some honey on them and it’s really all you need. All I have to say is Snoop Dog knows what he is doing, check out his cookbook!

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2/3 Cups Yellow Cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 TSP Baking Powder
  • 1/2 TSP Salt
  • 1/4 TSP Baking Soda
  • 4 TBSP Unsalted Butter, @ room temp
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Whole Milk
  • 2/3 Cup Full-Fat Plain Yogurt/ Sour Cream [I used non-fat greek yogurt and they turned out amazing]

Let’s Get Bakin’

Preheat the oven to 425F and line the muffin tins with paper liners or butter them.

In a small bowl combine the flour + cornmeal + baking powder + baking soda + salt

In a larger bowl combine the butter + sugar and beat on medium speed until creamy. Add in the eggs and beat until blended – stir in the milk + sour cream/yogurt.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time. Mix on low or until just combined – the batter should be thick.

Spoon the batter unto the muffin tins about 3/4 full.

Bake for 16-18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. They should be golden-brown when done.

Serve warm with chili or honey or with whatever you want. Store in a ziplock bag or in the freezer for a few months.

Air-Fryer Nachos with Pulled Chicken

I am not a corn-tortilla type of gal, but I needed them for one recipe so I had to make use of the rest of them. I found they make the PERFECT tortilla chips, as we all know. They are SOO easy to make at home that it’s ridiculous. Use for chips and dip, a more simplified nacho recipe, or this more ‘supreme’ nacho recipe. Either way, if it’s chips and cheese you can’t go wrong.

Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 1 Chicken Breast
  • 1 Chipotle in Adobo Sauce
  • 1/2 Onion, Chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño pepper, diced
  • 2 TSP Chili Powder
  • 1 TSP Cumin

Salsa:

  • 1 Tomato, diced
  • 1 Handful Fresh Cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 Onion, diced
  • 1/2 Lime Juice, squeezed

Cheese Sauce:

  • 4 TBSP Butter
  • 2 TBSP Flour
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 2 1/2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 TBSP Chili Powder
  • 1 TBSP Hot Sauce

Nachos:

  • 4 Corn Tortillas
  • Refried Beans
  • Spinach/Lettuce
  • Sour Cream
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt

Let Get Cookin’

I am using my air-fryer but you can also use your oven. Either one you use you need to preheat it to 375F.

Cut your tortillas into quarters, should get about 16 individual chips.

If using the air fryer, do small batches of the chips. For the first batch, lightly drizzle olive oil and cook for 15 minutes, about 7 minutes in, and shake the basket. Cook for longer if needed, until crispy. Continue with the rest of the batches, but you will not need more oil. Salt when done

If cooking in the oven: lightly drizzle with olive oil, and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until crispy. Salt when done.

For the chicken: preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

Season the chicken breast with salt + pepper + cumin + chili powder. Top with onions + peppers + chili. Drizzle with olive oil. Cook for 25 minutes. Once cooled, shred the chicken and chili with two forks.

While the chicken is cooking make the salsa and cheese sauce.

For the salsa: dice all of the ingredients and place into a small bowl. Add in the lime juice + salt and stir. Set aside.

For the cheese sauce: in a pot add in the butter and let melt. Then add in the flour and stir to combine. Once it’s made a paste, turn the heat on low and add in the milk. Continue to stir until combined. Once the rue is combined with the milk, add in the cheese one cup at a time. Remove from heat and continue to stir until all combined. Add in the hot sauce + chili powder + salt + pepper.

To build your nachos: start with chips + chicken + refried beans + cheese + salsa + lettuce + sour cream

Enjoy by yourself, or triple the batch and enjoy with friends for a football game.
