INGREDIENTS
- 1½ cups masa harina
- ½ cup cornmeal
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon regular or sodium-free baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
- 6 small cloves garlic, minced
- 1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained (1½ cups)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup purchased oil-free salsa
- 1 cup guacamole
- Sliced jalapeño chile (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat waffle maker according to manufacturer’s directions, using medium setting if available.
- In a bowl stir together the first five ingredients (through salt). Stir in 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and 2¼ cups water.
- To bake waffles, pour ½ cup batter in waffle maker. Close lid; bake 5 minutes. If lid lifts easily after 5 minutes, the waffle is ready. If not, cook 30 seconds more. Using a wooden chopstick or silicone spatula, remove waffle and place on a wire rack. (See tip in intro.) Repeat with the remaining batter.
- For hash, in a saucepan combine onion, bell pepper, corn, garlic, and ¼ cup water. Cook on medium-low 10 minutes or until tender, adding additional water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Stir in beans, taco seasoning, and the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cook 5 minutes. Season with additional salt.
- Serve warm waffles with hash. Top with salsa, guacamole, and, if desired, jalapeño. Serve immediately.
