Ingredients

For the guacamole:
• 2 extra large avocados, peeled and pitted
• 1 lime, zest & juice
• small handful fresh cilantro
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 jalapeno, finely chopped (remove stems and heat for less heat)
• 1 tsp cumin
• generous pinch each salt and pepper
For the waffles:
• 1/2 cup corn flour
• 1/4 cup fine cornmeal
• 1/4 cup almond meal
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup reduced fat buttermilk
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 1/2 tbsp honey
For the taco meat:
• 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 20 oz ground turkey breast (or 93% lean ground turkey, or 96% lean ground beef)
• 3 tbsp taco seasoning (preferably homemade, or at least reduced sodium variety)
• pinch cinnamon
• 1/2-3/4 cup water
For serving:
• Freshly crumbled goat cheese (or any cheese you'd like)
• Chopped green onions
• Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. To make the guacamole, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Blend using an immersion blender until smooth. I prefer a smooth guacamole for this recipe, but you may use a fork/spoon and mix together a chunkier one.
2. To make the waffles, whisk together corn flour, cornmeal, almond meal and baking soda in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, coconut oil and honey. Very gently, fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined. A few small lumps may remain. Do not over mix. Let rest for 10 minutes.
3. While your waffle batter rests, heat onion, garlic and bell pepper in olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook until turkey is fully browned. Add taco seasoning and cinnamon. Slowly add water until the meat has reached your desired level of liquid (some will cook out, so add a little more than you'd think). Increase heat to bring liquid to a light boil, then reduce to simmer.
4. While meat simmers, cook your waffles by adding approx 1/4 cup batter to your waffle maker at a time (more if you have a large waffle maker--eyeball it). Cook until waffles are golden and cooked throughout, about 5 minutes (mine has a light that goes on when they're finished).
5. Spread cooked waffles with guacamole, then add taco meat and additional toppings. Serve immediately. Leftover waffles, taco meat and guacamole should be stored separately and refrigerated in an airtight container. Guacamole will last about 3 days. Waffles and taco meat will last 5-7 days.
