Mexi Mac Burgers And Waffle Fries With Taco Sauce Recipes

TACO BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the chuck, salt, cumin and paprika. Divide into 4 even patties and drizzle with a touch of olive oil. Grill the burgers until deep brown and just barely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Pile a bed of lettuce on the bottom of each bun. Top with a patty, some cheese and a slice of tomato. Top with pickled jalapenos and sour cream if desired.

WAFFLE TACO WITH SPICY SAUSAGE AND HOT HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat a mini (4-inch) round waffle maker.
• Mix the waffle mix with 2 cups water and the vanilla paste until there are no more large lumps; do not overmix. Let the batter sit while you prepare the sausage and eggs.
• Cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking the sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to keep warm.
• Wipe out the skillet. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and evenly yellow. Add the cream and salt and pepper to taste and beat until well mixed. Add the eggs to the skillet and gently scramble. When the eggs are halfway done, sprinkle the cheese over the eggs, then stir to mix in and continue to cook until desired doneness, about 5 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl and keep warm.
• Cook the waffles, spreading 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons batter into the waffle maker for each. Cook until the waffles are yellow, not golden, and still pliable, about 1 1/2 minutes per waffle. Transfer the waffles to a kitchen towel to steam and soften as done. (This should yield 16 to 20 waffles.)
• To assemble the waffle tacos, spoon about 2 tablespoons sausage, some crushed tortilla chips and 1 tablespoon eggs onto each waffle. Drizzle with the hot honey and serve immediately.

LOADED TACO WAFFLE FRIES

Steps:

• For the taco fries: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Spread the waffle fries out on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake, stirring once, until golden brown and crisp, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning, then add 1/4 cup water and simmer until the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the waffle fries to a large plate. Mound the beef in the middle, then sprinkle the cheese, lettuce, beans, jalapenos, olives, tomatoes and avocado over the top. Dollop with sour cream.
• For the creamy hot sauce: Mix together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard and hot sauce in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top and serve.
