SPICY CORNMEAL WAFFLES

Steps:

• 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.
• Top each waffle with 1/4 cup pico de gallo, 3 slices avocado, 1 heaping tablespoon cilantro and 1 heaping tablespoon queso fresco. Serve warm.

SCALLION CORNMEAL WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, red-pepper flakes and salt and whisk well.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs well, then stir in the buttermilk, scallions and olive oil. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
• Heat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and coat the iron with nonstick spray as needed. (Some waffle irons are nonstick and might not need to be sprayed or brushed with fat.) Ladle in about 3/4 cup of batter and heat until cooked through. Waffle doneness is similar to toast: For waffles with more than a few toppings and protein, cook until golden.

• Top warm waffles with a piece of fried chicken or crispy tofu, if you like, along with maple syrup. Using a tea strainer, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Using a small melon baller, top with a scoop of berry jam and butter.
