Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cumin, and chili powder.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese to evenly distribute it throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced jalapeño and chopped cilantro for an extra layer of flavor.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter. Pour the recommended amount of batter into the waffle iron (usually about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on your machine).
Cook the waffles according to the waffle iron’s instructions, typically 4-5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Carefully remove the cooked waffles and keep them warm in a low oven (200°F) while you repeat with the remaining batter.
To serve, top each waffle with a dollop of sour cream, a few avocado slices, and a spoonful of salsa.
Garnish with lime wedges on the side, and serve warm. Enjoy your savory Mexican Waffles!
