Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin cups.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil.
  4. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix!
  5. Gently fold in the crumbled chorizo, chopped roasted poblanos, and shredded cheese.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  2. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the muffin cups cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
