Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, breaking it up, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Step 2

Stir the cumin, cayenne and paprika into the drippings in the skillet. Add the beans and onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Season with salt and black pepper, then add the bell pepper and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 4

Whisk the eggs and milk in another bowl.

Step 5

Wipe out the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1/2 tablespoon butter.

Step 6

Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the center is no longer liquid, loosening the edges with a rubber spatula and tilting the skillet to let the uncooked egg run underneath.

Step 7

Shake the pan to loosen the omelet,then spoon half of the bean mixture, chorizo and cheese down the center.

Step 8

Fold in both sides to cover the filling, then flip the omelet so it is seam-side down and cook 1 more minute.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining butter, egg mixture and fillings to make another omelet.

Step 10

Top with the green salsa sauce and garnish with the crema and tomato.

What a meal! I have never had pinto beans in an omelette, but now I am definitely open to it in the future. This omelette was devoured for brunch today. Thanks for sharing!

Super loaded tasty omelet. I cut the recipe back to 2 eggs and it was a large brunch that was enjoyed. I used black beans instead of Pinto. This looks messy but that made it all the more enjoyable. Will make it again.

BIG is right. This is a very filling way to start the day. This is packed with flavors - I really liked the use of salsa verde. Thanks for sharing! CQ2
