• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 chorizo sausages
• 1 cup onions, finely chopped
• 2 red bell peppers, diced
• 1 anaheim chili, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 cup canned chicken broth

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F:

   • Butter a 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Prepare Wet Mixture:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, oil, and eggs until well-blended.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:

   • Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until blended.

5. Bake Cornbread:

   • Transfer the batter to the prepared dish and bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 25 minutes.

6. Cool Cornbread:

10. Combine Ingredients:

    • Stir the chorizo mixture, cilantro, and oregano into the bread. Mix in enough broth to moisten.
