Combine cornmeal, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add milk and eggs; stir until well blended. Pour cornmeal mixture on top of salsa layer and top with remaining shredded Mexican cheese blend. Bake in the preheated oven until browned on top, about 30 minutes. Cook's Notes: This can be made with any meat substitute. Any shredded cheese will do.
