Taco Salad Waffles

September 4th - 10th is National Waffle Week.  Here is an interesting twist on using a waffle.

Taco Salad Waffles

1 pound ground beef

1 cup salsa

1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies

1 envelope taco seasoning

8 frozen waffles

Shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cubed avocado, salsa and sour cream, optional

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.  Stir in the salsa, chilies and taco seasoning.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, toast waffles according to package directions.  Layer with the cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, salsa and sour cream if desired.  Top with beef mixture.  Makes 4 servings.
