Calories: 290kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1/4 cup Onion chopped
- 1 ounce Package Taco Seasoning or 2 tablespoons homemade
- 8 Frozen Waffles
- 1 Chili Pepper seeded and sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream optional
Pico de Gallo
- 3 Roma Tomatoes diced
- 1/2 White Onion diced
- 1/4 cup Cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Place the ground beef in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat and break apart with a wooden spatula as it browns. Continue to cook and break apart for about 5 minutes, or until the meat has completely browned. Drain and return to heat.
- Add the diced onions to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, then add the taco seasoning. Remove from heat and set aside.
Pico de Gallo
- As the meat is cooking prepare the pico de gallo by placing the diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt into a medium bowl and stiring to mix evenly.
Taco Assembly
- Allow the frozen waffles to come to room temperature or defrost. Set the oven to broil and place the waffles on a baking sheet. Let them brown and flip to the other side. This takes less than a minute so make sure to watch them as they can burn quickly.
- Spoon some of the ground beef mixture on top of each of the waffles. Layer with sour cream and pico de gallo. Top with chili pepper if desired.
