Ingredients

Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups pico de gallo or salsa
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup queso fresco

Steps

  • 1
    Heat waffle maker; lightly brush with vegetable oil, if necessary. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick™ mix, cornmeal, buttermilk, oil, egg, chili powder and cumin until blended. Stir in shredded cheese. Let stand 10 minutes, allowing cornmeal to soften.

    Pour about 1/2 cup batter onto center of hot waffle maker; spread batter to 1/2 inch from edge. (Waffle makers vary in size; check manufacturer’s directions for recommended amount of batter.) Close lid of waffle maker. Bake according to manufacturer’s directions or until steaming stops and waffle is golden brown; carefully remove waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
