Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 ounces Low-sodium chorizo
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Non-fat milk
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the olive oil is heated, add the diced red bell pepper and cook for about 2 minutes until it starts to soften.
Add the low-sodium chorizo to the skillet, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spatula. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, non-fat milk, and black pepper until fully combined.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the chorizo and red bell pepper in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Occasionally lift the edges with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath.
Sprinkle the omelette with the low-sodium cheddar cheese and green onions. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the omelette cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, folding it in half.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
