Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup chopped onion
- 0.5 cup diced tomato
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup salsa
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended, and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it softens.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and diced tomato, mixing well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove the taco filling from the skillet and set it aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in half of the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
Cook the omelette for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to set. Then, sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese on one half of the omelette.
Spoon half of the taco mixture over the cheese, sprinkle with cilantro, and carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and taco filling.
Top each omelette with a spoonful of salsa and additional cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
