Tips:

  • Select high-quality chili: Opt for a flavorful, medium or hot chili that complements the cornbread waffles. Ensure it has a thick consistency for better waffle batter incorporation.
  • Achieve the perfect waffle consistency: Combine the chili, cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Mix until just combined - overmixing can result in tough waffles.
  • Enhance flavor with mix-ins: Elevate the waffle batter with diced bell peppers, chopped onions, shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca), or a sprinkle of chili powder and cumin for an extra kick.
  • Cook on a preheated waffle iron: Ensure your waffle iron is heated to the desired setting before pouring the batter. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Complement the chili and cornbread waffles with classic breakfast items like butter, maple syrup, or hot sauce. For a savory twist, add sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, or a dollop of chili on top.

Conclusion:

Tex-Mex Chili and Cornbread Waffles offer a unique blend of flavors and textures, making them an exciting and satisfying dish. By following these tips, you can create perfectly cooked waffles that balance the hearty chili with the sweet and savory cornbread. Experiment with different toppings and sides to customize the dish to your preferences and enjoy a delicious and versatile meal that is perfect for any occasion.
