Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 cup bell pepper (chopped, any color)
- 0.25 cup red onion (diced)
- 0.25 cup canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 0.25 cup frozen corn (thawed or fresh)
- 0.25 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup salsa (for topping, optional)
- 0.5 pieces avocado (sliced, optional)
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 non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped bell peppers, red onion, black beans, and corn to the skillet. Sprinkle with taco seasoning, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Wipe the skillet clean, lower the heat to medium-low, and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly to ensure the eggs spread evenly.
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until they are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
Sprinkle the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over one half of the omelet. Add the shredded Mexican cheese on top of the vegetables.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Gently press down to seal.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set.
Transfer the omelet to a plate. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with salsa and avocado slices on the side.
