Tex Mex Breakfast Omelet Recipes

BIG OLE TEX-MEX BURRITO OMELET

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the tomatillos, onion, jalapeno and olive oil on a baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper. Roast until browned, about 45 minutes. Puree in a blender with the cilantro, thinning with water as needed. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, prepare the omelet: Cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, breaking it up, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Stir the cumin, cayenne and paprika into the drippings in the skillet. Add the beans and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then add the bell pepper and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Whisk the eggs and milk in another bowl. Wipe out the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1/2 tablespoon butter. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the center is no longer liquid, loosening the edges with a rubber spatula and tilting the skillet to let the uncooked egg run underneath. Shake the pan to loosen the omelet, then spoon half of the bean mixture, chorizo and cheese down the center. Fold in both sides to cover the filling, then flip the omelet so it is seam-side down and cook 1 more minute. Repeat with the remaining butter, egg mixture and fillings to make another omelet. Top with the tomatillo sauce and garnish with the crema and tomato.

TEX-MEX OMELET

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together the milk, only half of the salt and half of the pepper, and the two eggs. Do not whisk until it becomes frothy; just until it comes together without any dark bands of egg yolk. It should look even in its color.
• In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
• Add the ground beef, the remaining half of the salt and the remaining half of the pepper, the ground cumin, and the chili powder to the hot butter. When the meat is mostly brown, add the minced garlic clove and diced bell pepper. Saute until the meat is fully brown and the spices are fully incorporated on the meat.
• Add the diced tomato, stir through the meat and peppers, and remove from the skillet.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Making sure that there is still a thin sheen of butter in the skillet, remove any stuck on bits with a spatula or wooden spoon. Add the extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet.
• Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and spread the liquid out in the pan by tilting it from side to side.
• When most of the egg has set (only a few, tiny patches of liquid remain), add the meat and tomato mixture onto the flat disk of mostly-cooked egg. Add this towards one edge.
• Sprinkle bits of the goat cheese over the meat.
• With a spatula, fold the eggs over on themselves, starting with the edge closest to the meat. Fold again and -if there is still space left- again. Fold until you've rolled up the eggs into an omelet.
• Serve.
