Recipe Introduction


The spicy blend of the chorizo and green chilies gives the ordinary omelet a Southwestern twist.


List of Ingredients




3 large eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 cup coarse ground chorizo sausage
1/4 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped green chilies, drained
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tomatoes, seeded
3/4 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
1/4 cup salsa
1 sprig cilantro


Recipe



In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs thoroughly. Add milk and beat until well mixed, then set aside. In a 10 inch nonstick skillet, over medium heat, brown chorizo for 3 minutes. Add onion, green chilies and cumin. Continue to saute, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and chorizo is cooked through. Remove mixture from skillet and keep warm until ready to assemble omelet. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Pour eggs into hot skillet. As eggs begin to cook, use a spatula to loosen eggs from sides of skillet. Tilt and rotate skillet to allow the eggs to distribute to hot surface. Cook until eggs are almost firm in center. Sprinkle chorizo mixture, tomatoes, and half of cheese over half of eggs. Fold other half of eggs over filling and continue to cook 1 minute. Flip omelet over and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and cook for 30 seconds, or until the cheese has melted. To serve, slide omelet out of skillet, onto a 10 inch serving plate. Serve with salsa on the side and garnish with a cilantro sprig.
