Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 small, finely diced jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup, diced red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons salsa
• 1 stalk, thinly sliced green onion
• 0.25 cup, crushed (optional) tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the diced jalapeño pepper and red bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed peppers. Tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs evenly.

Step 5

As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet and allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over half of the omelet. Add the salsa and green onion on top of the cheese. If using, sprinkle crushed tortilla chips as well.

Step 7

Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling to create a semicircle. Press down gently to seal.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully set.

Step 9

Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional salsa or green onion if desired, and serve immediately.
