Southwestern Spicy Black Bean and Habanero Cornbread

By

This was adapted from a recipe for Black Bean and Jalapeno Cornbread my aunt used to make when I was a kid. It is spicier and more dense than my aunts. It goes well with most any Southwestern style meal. My favorite meal to serve this with is a big bowl of my Southwestern Fiery Five Bean Java Chili.
