Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
-
Dice the onion, bell peppers, and tomato.
-
Rinse and drain black beans.
-
If using pre-cooked sausage, crumble or chop it into small pieces.
-
Shred your cheese and set aside your garnishes.
Step 2: Make the Filling
-
Heat 1 tsp oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
-
Stir in bell peppers and cook for another 2 minutes.
-
Add tomato, black beans, sausage, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder.
-
Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Beat the Eggs
-
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl.
-
Add milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
-
Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 4: Cook the Omelette
-
Wipe the skillet clean and add 1 tbsp butter or oil over medium heat.
-
Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread evenly.
-
Cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
-
Gently lift the edges with a spatula and let uncooked egg flow underneath.
-
Continue until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly soft on top.
Step 5: Add the Filling & Fold

Spoon the prepared Mexican filling over one half of the omelette.
-
Sprinkle cheese evenly on top of the filling.
-
Carefully fold the omelette over to cover the filling.
-
Let it cook for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese.

Slide the omelette onto a plate.

Add a spoonful of salsa or pico de gallo.

Serve with lime wedges and a side of tortillas or toast if desired.

Dollop with sour cream or Greek yogurt for an extra creamy finish.
Notes
Use Fresh Ingredients – Fresher veggies and herbs make a huge difference in flavor.
Don’t Overcook the Eggs – Slightly soft eggs will keep the omelette tender, not rubbery.
Customize Your Fillings – Try adding jalapeños, corn, spinach, or even sweet potatoes.
Cheese Matters – A good melting cheese like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack adds creaminess.
Fold Gently – Use a silicone spatula to avoid tearing the omelette.
