Lunch: Gluten-Free Waffles Rancheros

Masa harina, a flour made from corn, is added to these gluten-free waffles to give them a sweet, grainy flavor.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 onion
3 clove garlic
28 oz. chopped tomatoes in juice
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 tsp. ground cumin
15 oz. black beans
1/4 c. cilantro
1 tsp. salt

Instructions

Beans: In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil. Add onion and garlic, and cook over moderately high heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and cumin; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in beans, cilantro, and salt, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Waffles: In a blender, combine milk, onion, garlic, jalapeño, sugar, and salt. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high and grease with vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, whisk flour with masa harina and baking powder. Whisk in eggs, butter, and milk mixture until combined. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into each waffle iron square; close and cook until crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Eggs: Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat butter. Crack eggs into skillet and season with salt and pepper; cook over moderate heat, turning once, until whites are set and yolks are slightly runny, about 3 minutes.
Transfer waffles to plates and top with beans and fried eggs. Serve, passing queso fresco, sliced avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges at the table. Looking for more breakfast recipes?
