Fold in the diced green chiles, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn kernels until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite chili for a delicious treat.
