Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 Eggland's Best eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup cooked ground beef
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Salsa and guacamole, for serving
Directions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cumin, and chili powder.
- In a separate bowl, beat the Eggland's Best eggs. Add the milk and vegetable oil, and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the cooked ground beef and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
- Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully remove the taco waffle from the iron, and repeat with the remaining batter.
- To serve, top each taco waffle with diced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, black olives, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures!
