Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the corn bread mix, egg and milk just until blended. Stir in cheese and chilies. Coat muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners; fill three-fourths full with batter.

Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz
Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz are my top picks for Chili. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. You could try Juve Y Camps Reserva de la Familia Cava Gran Reserva Brut Nature. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
Juve Y Camps Reserva de la Familia Cava Gran Reserva Brut Nature
Pale gold in color, this Cava has aromas of mature white peach, toasted bread and green tea with hints of lemon citrus and apricots. Equally rich and broad, these flavors continue to unfold on the palate.
