Begin by preheating your waffle iron. Grease it with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until airy.

In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones, folding gently until just combined. Fold in the cheddar cheese and jalapeños.

Pour approximately 3/4 cup of the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve warm, optionally topped with avocado or salsa.
