- Look for Mexican chorizo that is not pre-cooked, as this will give the best flavor to the omelet.
- If you cannot find nopales cactus, you can substitute with chopped spinach.
- Substitution 1: Replace the chorizo with ground beef. Benefit: Ground beef is a more affordable alternative to chorizo that still provides a good flavor to the omelet.
- Substitution 2: Replace the pepper jack cheese with cheddar cheese. Benefit: Cheddar cheese is a milder flavor than pepper jack, making it a good choice for those who don't like spicy food.
Vegetarian Chorizo Omelet Substitute vegetarian chorizo for the Mexican chorizo and omit the nopales cactus. Cook the vegetarian chorizo with the onions and peppers. Beat eggs and season to taste. Pour into a pan sprayed with Pam and spread cheese over top. Spread the chorizo mixture over one side and fold over top with salsa.
