– 1 small red onion, finely chopped
– 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup of barbecue sauce
– 1 cup of sour cream
– 1 cup of salsa
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– 1 jalapeño, sliced (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large trifle bowl or glass serving dish, begin by placing a layer of cornbread cubes at the bottom.
2. Layer half of the cooked, shredded meat on top of the cornbread, followed by a drizzle of barbecue sauce.
3. Add a layer of black beans on top of the meat, then layer half the corn, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
4. Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables.
5. Spread a layer of sour cream carefully over the cheese, and then add a layer of salsa.
6. Repeat the layers starting from the cornbread, meat, another drizzle of barbecue sauce, followed by the remaining corn, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and ending with the last cup of cheddar cheese on top.
7. Garnish the trifle with chopped cilantro and jalapeño slices if desired. You can decorate the top however you’d like.
8. Refrigerate the trifle for an hour to let the flavors meld together before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your hearty and festive Cowboy Cornbread Trifle as a taste of the Southwest brought to your table!
