Around here, we love serving our Cornbread Taco Bake with a simple side of green salad drizzled with ranch or a cilantro-lime dressing to add a fresh, crisp touch. If you’re feeling a little more indulgent, why not serve it with some Spanish rice or a dollop of sour cream and guacamole on the side? And for the kiddos, you can’t go wrong with a side of corn on the cob or some steamed veggies they love.
