Crispy Crust Burrito Waffles – Leftover Recipe
Ingredients
- 160g (¾ cup) leftover potato burrito filling (cold)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 large handful tortilla chips (~28g), crushed (mix of fine crumbs and coarse pieces)
- 6 tablespoons shredded Mexican cheese blend, 3 tablespoons per waffle
- Cooking oil spray
Garnish
- green or red salsa, guacamole, or BBQ sauce
Steps
Step 1
Prepare the waffle mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the cold leftover potato burrito filling with the lightly beaten egg.
Add the crushed tortilla chips and mix until well combined.
Step 2
Cook the waffles.
Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat (setting 4-5 on most waffle irons). **Spray both plates of the waffle iron with cooking oil.**
Sprinkle a thin, even layer of shredded cheese (about 2-3 tbsp) on the bottom plate of the waffle iron. Add half of the filling mixture on top of the cheese, spreading slightly but not all the way to the edges.
Close the waffle iron and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown, the cheese is crispy, and the egg is cooked through.
Carefully remove the waffle using a fork, silicone spatula, or tongs. Repeat with the remaining filling mixture to make the second waffle.
