Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1 small jalapeño finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp butter

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly golden around the edges.
  3. Stir in the jalapeño and tomatoes, then cook for another minute until fragrant and slightly juicy.
  4. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring well so the vegetables become evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the cooked vegetable mixture to a plate and wipe the skillet clean if needed.
  6. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, and whisk until the mixture looks pale and slightly frothy.
  7. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat and swirl it around the pan.
  8. Pour the eggs into the skillet and gently move the cooked edges toward the center using a spatula while tilting the pan to distribute uncooked egg.
  9. Cook until the top is mostly set but still slightly glossy.
  10. Spoon the vegetable mixture onto one half of the omelette and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
  11. Fold the omelette carefully over the filling and cook for another minute until the cheese melts completely.
  12. Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving warm.
