In a medium-sized skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and then remove it from the skillet. Set aside.
In a bowl, crack the eggs, and beat them well with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return to medium heat. Add a small amount of butter if necessary to coat the pan.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, ensure they cover the bottom of the pan evenly, and let them cook undisturbed until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette, and then top with the cooked beef mixture, diced tomatoes, and baby spinach leaves.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the fillings to enclose them.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted and the omelette is cooked to your liking.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with additional spinach or your favorite herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
