Waffle Tacos

It’s national Waffle day!! To honor this delicious dish I wanted to do something different. I’ve seen cornbread waffles with chili, so why not tortilla waffles with taco toppings? And oh my these are the best waffles I’ve made to date! Check them out – and some other waffle offerings as well!

What you need to make this waffle:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup masa flour (corn flour)
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups butter milk
  • ½ cup regular milk
  • 4 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 cups grated extra sharp cheddar
  • All your favorite taco fillings and toppings

Making the waffles

Place all the ingredients except the cheese and toppings/fillings into a blender. Process on high until all the ingredients are blended.
Add the cheese and process again.

Heat a Belgian waffle iron.

(my favorite)   

Pour the batter onto the hot iron. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.

Place in a warm (150°) oven directly on the grate, not a plate.

Continue until all the batter is used.

Serve with taco meat, cheese, lettuce, avocado, cilantro, chopped peppers, onions and anything else you like on tacos!
