"One of my favorite breads for the bread maker. Spicy and savory, but not TOO spicy. This is fantastic toasted in the morning with cream cheese. Or enjoy a slice with your favorite chili. It is a fantastic recipe. Note: cooking times will depend on your bread maker."

  • For a spicier version of this bread, leave the ribs in the jalapeno peppers.
  • Be sure to drain the diced green chilies before adding them to the recipe.

  • Instead of olive oil, use coconut oil. Coconut oil adds a subtle sweetness to the bread that complements the spicy flavors of the jalapenos and green chilies.
  • Instead of creamed corn, use fresh corn kernels. The freshness of the corn will add a subtle sweetness and crunch to the bread.

Garlic and Herb Bread Replace the jalapeno peppers with 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and replace the cilantro with 1 tablespoon of Italian herb blend.


Cheese and Onion Bread Replace the jalapeno peppers with 1/4 cup of grated cheese, and replace the cilantro with 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion.


Grilled Fish Tacos: Grilled fish tacos are the perfect accompaniment to this Cinco de Mayo Bread. The spicy and savory flavors of the bread will go perfectly with the light and flaky fish tacos. The added crunch of the cornmeal in the bread will add a great texture contrast to the tacos. Plus, the cilantro and jalapeno peppers will give the tacos an extra kick of flavor!


Mexican Street Corn: Mexican street corn is the perfect side dish to serve with this Cinco de Mayo Bread. The creamy, cheesy, and spicy flavors of the street corn will pair nicely with the sweet and savory flavors of the bread. The crunchy texture of the corn will also provide a great contrast to the soft, fluffy texture of the bread. Plus, the added kick of jalapeno and cilantro will give the dish an extra flavor boost!
