The Mexican Cornbread Patty is a delicious spin on traditional cornbread. With a crispy crust on the outside and a soft, fluffy interior, these patties are packed with flavor. The recipe is a low-fat and low-calorie alternative to a heavier breakfast or lunch. The patties are served hot and are perfect for a quick meal on the go. They are also vegetarian-friendly, making them a great option for a variety of dietary needs. The inclusion of jalapeno peppers or picante sauce adds a little kick to the recipe, which can be adjusted according to individual taste preferences.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Add in the chopped onion, salt, and cornmeal, then mix until well combined.
2.	Divide the mixture in half. Add half of the grated cheese and half of the jalapeno peppers to one portion. Mix until evenly distributed.
3.	Repeat this step with the other half of the mixture, using picante sauce instead of jalapeno peppers.
4.	Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spoon in each mixture, forming patties.
5.	Brown each side of the patties, then serve hot.
