Preheat your waffle iron. Cook the batter according to your waffle irons instructions, using just a bit less of this batter than you would other batters (about 1/3 of a cup at a time if you're using a Belgian waffle iron).

Top waffles with a generous serving of shredded pork, fresh cilantro, cojita cheese, and a drizzle of enchilada sauce. Serve warm.
