Instructions
Lime Chipotle Spread:
- In a blender combine cotija, mayonnaise, buttermilk, lime juice, cilantro, chipotle, salt, garlic powder, and honey, and blend until smooth.
Cornmeal Waffles with Cotija and Cilantro:
- Heat the waffle iron.
- Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, paprika, onion and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
- Add the cheese and toss to coat and incorporate, breaking up any clumps.
- Whisk the eggs in a large liquid measuring cup until blended, then whisk in the buttermilk and gradually whisk in the butter.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture, whisking gently until evenly moistened. Use a spatula to fold in the cilantro. The batter should be thick.
- Grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking oil spray.
- Pour a generous 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the heated waffle iron. Spread the batter with a spatula to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Close and bake until deep golden brown. Repeat to use all the batter.
Assemble:
- Spread Lime Chipotle Spread evenly over a waffle; top with bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, and top with another waffle.
- Top with cherry tomatoes or pico de gallo, if using.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Prepare the waffles ahead of time and reheat in the toaster for quick assembly.
- The sauce can be made up to a week ahead. It's also delicious with french fries and hashbrowns!
- If your tomatoes are refrigerated, let them come to room temperature before consuming for optimal flavor.
