Ingredients

1 lb ground beef or turkey (or black beans for a vegetarian option)
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
8 taco shells
Toppings: diced tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, sour cream, or hot sauce

Instructions

Prepare the Cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix cornmeal, buttermilk, egg, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat (or heat the beans). Add Cajun seasoning and cook until the meat is fully cooked and well seasoned.
Crumble the Cornbread: Once the cornbread is baked and cooled slightly, crumble it into small pieces.
Assemble the Tacos: Fill each taco shell with the meat or bean mixture, then top generously with the cornbread crumble and your choice of toppings.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, garnished with additional toppings as desired.
