The cornbread overpowered the flavors of the taco mixture. Also, it was very dried out.

This was sooo easy and delicious!! I personally dont like onions so I didnt use them. I did put some diced potatoes in with the ground beef and corn and I used honey sweet corn bread instead of the regular kind. I had a little of both spicy and sweet in the dish! I will make this again! It was sooo good and made great leftovers for the next day's lunch! Thanks for sharing!
