Lime Chipotle Spread:
In a blender combine cotija, mayonnaise, buttermilk, lime juice, cilantro, chipotle, salt, garlic powder, and honey, and blend until smooth.
Cornmeal Waffles with Cotija and Cilantro:
Heat the waffle iron.
Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, paprika, onion and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
Add the cheese and toss to coat and incorporate, breaking up any clumps.
Whisk the eggs in a large liquid measuring cup until blended, then whisk in the buttermilk and gradually whisk in the butter.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture, whisking gently until evenly moistened. Use a spatula to fold in the cilantro. The batter should be thick.
Grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking oil spray.
Pour a generous 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the heated waffle iron. Spread the batter with a spatula to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Close and bake until deep golden brown. Repeat to use all the batter.
Assemble:
Spread Lime Chipotle Spread evenly over a waffle; top with bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, and top with another waffle.
Top with cherry tomatoes or pico de gallo, if using.
Serve immediately.
