Corn meal is hard to find here in the south. Wait...let me rephrase that. GOOD corn meal is hard to find here in the south. I prefer Alber's corn meal. It's got a rough gritty texture and isn't ground down to a powder like what is offered in the stores here. I order it online and when I get it, I hoard it. I'm very picky about what I use it for. I made a good choice when I decided to make this recipe from my MIL. This is a very corn-bready type of dish but made oh so good with the addition of cheese and green chilies. Next time you're having Mexican food, try this along with it.
