How to Make Mexican Waffles
- **Make the Waffles:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1 ½ cups milk, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Gently combine with the dry ingredients until just moistened.
- Beat the batter until smooth.
- In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the batter.
- Cook waffles in a preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions, until golden brown.
- **Prepare the Savory Topping:** Brown 1 lb ground beef with 1 medium onion, chopped, in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained, 1 cup corn kernels, 1 jalapeno pepper, minced (remove seeds for less heat), 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon cumin, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
- Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping has thickened to your desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.
- Serve the savory topping generously over warm waffles. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and enjoy!
