To achieve the perfect texture for your Spicy Green Chili Cornbread Sandwich Thins, start by carefully mixing your dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and any spices you choose to include. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly until they are evenly distributed. This step is crucial, as it ensures that the leavening agents are well blended, which will promote a light and airy cornbread. Having a uniform blend prevents pockets of salt or baking powder in the final product, leading to a more consistent flavor and texture throughout your sandwich thins.

Ingredients
  

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 cup diced green chilies (fresh or canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Butter or oil for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it with butter or oil, or lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Use a whisk to thoroughly blend everything together until there are no lumps and the mixture is uniform.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is just combined. It’s perfectly fine for the batter to have a few lumps; avoid overmixing to keep the texture light and fluffy.

          Add Chilies and Cheese: Carefully fold in the diced green chilies and shredded cheddar cheese, along with the chopped cilantro if you choose to use it. Ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter without overworking it.

            Scoop Batter: Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to portion out equal amounts of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small rounds that are approximately 2 inches in diameter. Make sure to leave some space between each round for spreading during baking.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cornbread thin; it should come out clean when they are ready.

                Cool: Once baked, take the sandwich thins out of the oven and allow them to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Afterward, transfer them to a wire rack to cool further.

                  Assemble Sandwiches: Once the sandwich thins are cool enough to handle, slice each one horizontally to create sandwich halves. Fill with your favorite ingredients like pulled pork, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables, and top with additional cheese or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.

                    Serve: Arrange your delightful Spicy Green Chili Cornbread Sandwich Thins on a serving platter and dig in!
