Cornbread Waffles with Black Beans
This used to be something I’d make often for dinner when I was vegetarian. Cornbread waffles with black beans, sour cream, salsa and avocado are a fun and cheap meal. Healthy and wholesome, too!
Make big, standard sized waffles and serve them like a tostada with all the toppings piled on top. Or make mini waffles by scooping just a tablespoon of batter into each quarter of your waffle iron and serve them with bowls of sour cream and salsa for dipping. It’s a nice way to let your kids play with their food!
