Chef's Tips

For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.

Feel free to add other toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or green onions.

To keep the waffles warm while cooking, place them on a wire rack in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C).

If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can prepare the cornbread waffles and avocado salsa in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator and assemble just before serving. Reheat the waffles in a toaster or oven.
