Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Separate cornbread swirls into 6 rounds. Do not unroll dough. Place each round of dough into a greased muffin cup. Bake for 13-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Use a knife to cut out the middle of each cornbread swirl, making a cup. Crumble middle pieces of cornbread swirls and set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeno, cumin, salt and pepper. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, or until onions have softened. Add chili and simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes, or until chili is hot.
  3. Spoon chili mixture into cornbread cups and top with sour cream, cheddar cheese, tomato, scallions and reserved cornbread crumbles. Garnish with cilantro.

    *Recipe Tip: Make this dish less spicy by removing the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping.
