Omelet Ingredients

Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In the same skillet, add a little olive oil if needed and add sliced onions. Cook over low heat until they turn golden brown and soft, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Cooking the Omelet

  1. 4

    Cook the Omelet

    In a clean skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes until the edges start to set.

  2. 5

    Add Fillings

    Once the eggs are mostly set, add the cooked chorizo, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, and crumbled queso fresco on one half of the omelet.

  3. 6

    Fold and Serve

    Carefully fold the omelet in half over the fillings and cook for another minute. Slide it onto a plate and top with guajillo salsa to taste. Serve immediately.
