Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 0.25 cup diced avocado
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water with the cooked beef. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is well absorbed. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Clean the skillet if necessary, then return it to medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and let cook undisturbed until the bottom begins to set, about 1-2 minutes.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Continue cooking until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, about 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of the omelet, followed by the cooked taco beef mixture.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using the spatula. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and top with salsa, sour cream, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexican Taco Omelet!
