Description

Ingredients

• 1½ cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Old El Paso taco seasoning (from a 1 oz package, reserve remaining for taco meat)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 lb ground beef
• ⅔ cup water
• remaining Old El Paso taco seasoning
• 1 (4 oz) can Old El Paso diced Green Chiles
• desired taco toppings: chopped lettuce, tomatoes, onions, avocados, shredded cheese, cilantro or sour cream

Directions

• Preheat a waffle iron.
• In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and butter, then stir in the eggs. In another large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, taco seasoning and salt. Make a well in the center, then pour in the buttermilk mixture. Mix just until combined.
• Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Add some of the waffle batter to the iron and cook according the the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks, 5-7 minutes. Stir in the water and the taco seasoning and heat to boiling. Reduce the heat and continue to cook until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the green chiles.
• Serve the waffles topped with some of the taco meat, then top with your favorite taco toppings.
