Method

Omelet Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    Dice the onion and bell pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and sauté the onions and peppers until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a bowl, crack the 3 eggs and whisk them until combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Omelet

    Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook over medium-low heat until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Filling

    Evenly distribute the cooked carnitas over one half of the omelet and sprinkle the jack cheese on top. Fold the other half of the omelet over the filling and let it cook for another minute until the cheese melts.

Chili Verde Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Chili Verde

    In a pot, boil the tomatillos and jalapeño pepper until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 6

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the boiled tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth.

    Transfer the blended chili verde to a saucepan and heat over low heat until warmed through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
