Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 piece avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup tortilla chips, crushed
Instructions
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the beef, stir well, and simmer until the liquid reduces and flavors meld, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until completely combined and slightly frothy.
In a separate large non-stick skillet, heat butter over medium-low heat until melted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure it coats the bottom evenly.
Cook without stirring until the edges start to set, about 3-4 minutes. Gently lift the edges with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath.
Once the omelet is nearly set, sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on one half of the omelet.
Add the cooked taco meat, diced tomatoes, and sliced green onions over the cheese.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese over the added ingredients, then use the spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half over the fillings.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully cooked.
Slide the omelet onto a plate. Top with sour cream, avocado slices, and crushed tortilla chips.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions or salsa if desired.
