Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Mix the Eggs

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped peppers and onion and sauté until they are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Carnitas

    Stir in the cooked carnitas and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. 5

    Cook the Omelet

    Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and carnitas. Allow it to cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes or until the edges start to set.

  4. 6

    Finish the Omelet

    Once the edges are set, gently fold the omelet in half. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the inside is fully cooked.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Slide the omelet onto a plate and top with salsa roja, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices before serving.
