Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small jalapeño, diced
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 whole avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup salsa
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and jalapeño, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and black beans, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add the chopped cilantro and remove the skillet from the heat. Set the mixture aside as the filling.
In a nonstick frying pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, pour in the whisked eggs and let them cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Continue cooking until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist, about 2-3 more minutes.
Spread the sautéed vegetable and bean filling evenly over one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula. Let the omelet cook for another minute until the cheese is melted.
Slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Top with slices of avocado and a dollop of salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ranchero Omelet!
