Mexican Omlette

Today, I found nothing in my fridge except some greens and a bell pepper. Feeling lazy to cook, I wanted to whip up something quick but delicious at the same time. A Mexican omlettle is the perfect choice - loaded with a variety of veggies and cheesy, it fills you up for sure.

Ingredients

(Makes 2 omlettes)

Eggs - 4

Potato - 1 finely chopped

Bell Pepper - 1/2 finely Chopped

Spinach - 1 cup finely chopped

Tomato - 2 Chopped

Cilantro - 3-4 sprigs

Green Onion - 2 finely Sliced

Garlic - 3 cloves grated

Milk - 2tbsp

Pepper - 1/2 tsp

Grated cheese - 1/2 cup

Green chillies - 3-4 finely chopped

Salt

Oil

Steps

1. Whisk the eggs with milk, salt and pepper.

2. Heat some oil in a pan. Add potatoes and cook with salt and pepper till they turn crisp. Now add the bell pepper and cook till it turns tender but is still crunchy. Add garlic and chillies. Lastly add spinach, cilantro and tomatoes. Cook for a minute and then add the whisked eggs.

3. When the omelette is half cooked, add the grated cheese and fold omelette. Allow it to cook so that the cheese melts.

Serving ideas

Serve with tomato salsa or sour cream.

It is a very good accompaniment to sambhar or rasam rice.

You can place a cooked tortilla/chapathi over the half cooked omlette and press down so that it sticks well. You can roll this up and you have a quick breakfast on the go.

Tips

Adding milk improves the texture of the omlette.

The longer you whisk the eggs, the fluffier your omlette will be.
