Omelette

Home Fries

Toast

Method

Omelette

  1. 1

    Prepare the Omelette Mixture

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Add Corn and Cheese

    Fold in the grilled corn, diced scallions, and shredded pepper-jack cheese into the egg mixture.

  3. 3

    Cook the Omelette

    In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour in the omelette mixture and let it cook until the edges start to set. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.

  4. 4

    Add Jalapenos

    Once the omelette is almost set, sprinkle the pickled jalapenos on top. Fold the omelette in half and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully set.

Home Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes.

  2. 6

    Cook the Home Fries

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato cubes and cook until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 7

    Season the Fries

    Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle with Tajín seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Toast

  1. 8

    Toast the Bread

    While the omelette and home fries are cooking, toast the slices of your choice of bread until golden brown.
