Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup cornmeal

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup buttermilk (or dairy-free substitute)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (or olive oil)

1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

¼ cup fresh chives, finely chopped

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and smoked paprika. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the sweet corn, cilantro, and chives.

    Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a dab of oil to ensure the waffles don’t stick.

      Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Cook until golden brown and crispy, according to your waffle iron's settings (typically 4-6 minutes). Remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.

        Make the Tacos: Once all waffles are cooked, allow them to cool slightly. Then, gently fold each waffle in half to form a taco shape.

          Assemble: Fill each waffle taco with slices of avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. You can sprinkle extra cilantro and chives on top for added freshness.

            Serve: Serve your crispy sweet corn & herb waffle tacos warm, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!
