Tex-Mex Omelet image

This omelet is a simple dish that is low-calorie (for an omelet) and quick to make. I'm on a diet and want this to be the sort of thing I can make before work and not have it destroy my day's calorie intake count. Note that it is high in cholesterol and sodium so this is definitely not an "every day" sort of dish.

Time 30m

Yield 1 medium entree, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon 1% low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 ounces ground beef
1 1/2 ounces green bell peppers (finely diced)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground ancho chili pepper (ancho chili powder)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1/2 medium tomatoes (diced)
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 ounce goat cheese

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the milk, only half of the salt and half of the pepper, and the two eggs. Do not whisk until it becomes frothy; just until it comes together without any dark bands of egg yolk. It should look even in its color.
  • In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ground beef, the remaining half of the salt and the remaining half of the pepper, the ground cumin, and the chili powder to the hot butter. When the meat is mostly brown, add the minced garlic clove and diced bell pepper. Saute until the meat is fully brown and the spices are fully incorporated on the meat.
  • Add the diced tomato, stir through the meat and peppers, and remove from the skillet.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Making sure that there is still a thin sheen of butter in the skillet, remove any stuck on bits with a spatula or wooden spoon. Add the extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet.
  • Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and spread the liquid out in the pan by tilting it from side to side.
  • When most of the egg has set (only a few, tiny patches of liquid remain), add the meat and tomato mixture onto the flat disk of mostly-cooked egg. Add this towards one edge.
  • Sprinkle bits of the goat cheese over the meat.
  • With a spatula, fold the eggs over on themselves, starting with the edge closest to the meat. Fold again and -if there is still space left- again. Fold until you've rolled up the eggs into an omelet.
  • Serve.
