Mexican Omelette
This Mexican omelette, while not traditional, is super flavorful. The chili powder adds a kick, and the cotija cheese makes it feel like a breakfast taco.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp red bell pepper chopped into small cubes
- 1 tbsp onion chopped into small cubes
- ½ tbsp jalapeño chopped into small cubes
- 2 tbsp cotija cheese plus more for garnish
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp smoked paprika or chili powder
- sour cream for garnish
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the pan to medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the red bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno. Cook until the peppers are soft and tender, and the onion is transparent. About 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl combine the eggs, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk to combine until frothy.
- Pour the eggs on top of the vegetables and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Using a spatula push the sides of the omelette as it settles.
- Add the cotija cheese and flip the omelette to one side. Slice it onto a place and garnish it with fresh cilantro and sour cream on the side.
