Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 piece avocado, sliced
• 0.25 cup tortilla chips, crushed

Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2

Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the beef, stir well, and simmer until the liquid reduces and flavors meld, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until completely combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

In a separate large non-stick skillet, heat butter over medium-low heat until melted.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure it coats the bottom evenly.

Step 6

Cook without stirring until the edges start to set, about 3-4 minutes. Gently lift the edges with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath.

Step 7

Once the omelet is nearly set, sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on one half of the omelet.

Step 8

Add the cooked taco meat, diced tomatoes, and sliced green onions over the cheese.

Step 9

Sprinkle with remaining cheese over the added ingredients, then use the spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half over the fillings.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully cooked.

Step 11

Slide the omelet onto a plate. Top with sour cream, avocado slices, and crushed tortilla chips.

Step 12

Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions or salsa if desired.
