Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons melted butter

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (e.g., cilantro, chives, parsley)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Oil for greasing the waffle maker

Toppings: diced avocado, sour cream, crumbled feta cheese, sliced jalapeños, or salsa (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Waffle Maker: Preheat the waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and garlic powder until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth.

        Mix Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. Gently fold in the sweet corn and chopped herbs.

          Cook the Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle maker (about 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle maker). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually 3-5 minutes. Repeat with any remaining batter.

            Assemble Taco Shells: Once the waffles are cooked, remove them gently and form them into taco shapes while they are still warm. This can be done by folding them in half or draping them over a wire rack to hold their shape.

              Add Toppings: Fill each waffle taco shell with your choice of toppings. Diced avocado, sour cream, crumbled feta cheese, sliced jalapeños, or salsa work wonderfully for extra flavor.

                Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Crispy Sweet Corn & Herb Waffle Tacos right away while they're warm and crispy!
