This is basically a spinoff of Italian lasagna where delicious corn tortillas replace the pasta, and refried beans, black beans and corn are stuffed between the yummy corn tortilla layers.

This cornbread recipe is truly the best cornbread around. I made it for a dinner guest who admitted he wasn’t a big fan of cornbread, but he really liked this one! It’s super easy to make and will leave you coming back for seconds. It has just the right amount of sweetness, while being moist and tender. It would make great company with soups, stews, and of course chili!

It’s no secret I love food with big flavor. So when I first made these fritters, I knew I had to pair them with something equally as flavorful like my Weeknight Beer Chili. Serve these golden fritters as the base in a big bowl of chili, over greens with a ladle of chili on top, or on their own as a side to Tofu Scrambled Eggs.
