Savory Corn and Jalapeno Lime Muffins with Tajin

Whew that title is a mouthful but these muffins are a yummy mouthful. These are interesting and versatile. You can serve them up for breakfast or as a side at a dinner or lunch. They involve limited fuss to make and are very different!

I will warn you that with the addition of the jalapeno they are very spicy. You can omit the jalapeno if you do not want a strong kick with each bite.
