Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 0.25 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup diced red onion
• 1 tablespoon diced jalapeño (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons sour cream (for serving, optional)
• 2 tablespoons salsa (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, ground black pepper, and ground cumin until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, making sure it evenly coats the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 4

Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow any uncooked egg on top to flow underneath.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, diced jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro evenly over one half of the omelet.

Step 6

Using the spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

Step 7

Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 1-2 more minutes or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through but still tender.

Step 8

Carefully slide the omelet out of the skillet and onto a plate.

Step 9

Garnish with additional cilantro if desired, and serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side.
