How to Make Tex Mex Quick Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or three 5x3 inch loaf pans, or line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the following ingredients: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened; 1 ½ cups granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained; 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese; ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. For a loaf: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan(s). Bake a 9x5 inch loaf for 45-50 minutes, or 5x3 inch loaves for 30-35 minutes.
  6. For muffins: Fill prepared muffin cups about ¾ full. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  7. In both cases, bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
