TACO OMELET RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and brown while breaking up into chunks with a spatula.
• Add in the taco seasoning and water and cook until most of the liquid has absorbed and the meat mixture is thick. Remove from heat.
• Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Stir gently with a fork until well-beaten. Add the milk or water, salt, and pepper and whisk gently to incorporate.
• Heat a 6 to 8-inch omelet pan (or a nonstick skillet) over high heat until hot. Add the butter, making sure it coats the bottom of the pan. As soon as the butter stops bubbling and sizzling, but before it starts to brown, slowly pour in the egg mixture.
• Tilt the pan to spread the egg mixture evenly. Let the eggs firm up a bit and use a spatula to gently direct the mixture away from the sides and into the middle of the pan. Allow any remaining liquid into the space left at the sides of the pan.
• Cook for another minute until the egg mixture holds together. While the middle of the omelet is still a little runny, add half of the meat mixture and half of the cheese to the center of the omelet (you will want about 1/3 cup combined of both).
• Tilt the pan to one side and use the spatula to fold about one-third of the omelet over the middle. Shake the pan gently to slide the omelet to the edge of the pan.
• Hold the pan above the serving plate, tip it so that the omelet rolls off, folding itself onto the plate. The two edges till be tucked underneath. Top with any toppings and serve.

TACO OMELETTE USING LEFTOVER TACO MEAT

Steps:

• Mix together the taco meat, eggs and cream.
• Spray an omelette pan or a small pan that can make omelettes with the cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. If you are using the omelette pan, spray BOTH sides of the pan.
• Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan and cook on the one side until it is lightly browned on the bottom and the omelette is cooked almost all the way through. If using an omelette pan, close the top lid while cooking. Cook until only the top is runny with raw egg.
• Carefully flip the omelette over to cook the other side. If you have an omelette pan, you can simply quickly turn the entire closed pan over. The omelette will flip inside. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Place the shredded cheese on top of half of the omelette, then fold the other half of the omelette over top of the cheese.
• Let the cheese melt, then serve. Salt and pepper to taste. Top with pico de gallo and cilantro if desired.

WESTERN OMELETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat together 3 of the eggs and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a small non-stick skillet, with tight-fitting lid, over medium heat. Add the peppers and cook, covered, without stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the ham and scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
• Melt a nut-sized piece of the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add 1/4 of the pepper mixture. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until just cooked, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and, using the rubber spatula, smooth over the top of the omelette so that it evenly covers the inside of the skillet. If using the cheese, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons over the omelette. Let rest for 30 seconds until the omelette has set.
• Using the rubber spatula, fold the omelette in half, and transfer to a warmed plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 omelettes in all.

THE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat the eggs with a fork; season with a pinch of salt and pepper add any fresh herbs you would like to include
• Melt the butter in an omelet pan or a nonstick 7inch pan with sloping sides. Tilt the pan from side to side to coat the bottom with melted butter. When butter is about to turn brown, add the eggs to the skillet. Over high heat, stir the eggs with your right hand while you shake the pan back and forth, up and down, with your left hand. When the underside of the omelet begins to set, tilt to pan, after you lift the edge of omelet, so that any uncooked egg from the top will run under the cooked egg and set. Run a line of the grated cheese down the middle of the omelet
• Hold the right top or side third of the omelet towards the center, then roll it over onto other third.
• Grab the handle of the omelet pan with your right hand, and roll the omelette onto a plate.
