How to Make Mexican Vegetables On Cornbread

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 1 cup chopped carrots, cover the skillet, and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen), 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
  4. If the mixture is too thick, add 2-4 tablespoons of tomato juice or vegetable broth until you reach your desired consistency. The sauce should be slightly saucy.
  5. Serve the vegetable mixture over warm cornbread. Top with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite shredded cheese.
  6. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
