CORN WAFFLES WITH TOMATO SALSA


yes...you read that correctly. waffles WITH salsa. i was a little reluctant to try this but i figured if chicken and waffles can go together then salsa can too. this was really easy to make and the salsa would be good just on it's own or wrapped in a tortilla.

frozen waffles
6 roma tomatoes, halved
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1-15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 -15 oz. can corn, rinsed and drained (or fresh or frozen...doesn't matter)
1/3 c. sliced green onions
2 tbsp. cilantro or parsley, chopped
2 tbsp. lime juice
1-2 serrano peppers, chopped (you can remove the seeds for less heat)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. plain yogurt

for the salsa, brush the tomato halves with 1 tsp. of the olive oil; place on the unheated rack of the broiler pan. broil 4-5 inches from the heat for 8-10 minutes or until tomatoes begin to char, turning once. remove from broiler pan and cool slightly, then chop.

meanwhile in a medium boil combine all the other ingredients (except the waffles and yogurt) together. once the tomatoes are done, add them into the salsa.

serve waffles toasted and topped with salsa and yogurt.
