Leftover Taco Omelets Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Krumkake / All my dishes 1 year, 1 month ago It was “Taco Saturday” at our house, when we have mom over for her beloved taco fest. This particular night, I made way too much taco meat, and while I usually use any leftovers to make a Taco Pizza the next day, I wanted something different. M...

Ingredients

For one omelet

3 eggs

¼ cup half-and-half

a dash of cumin

For omelet filling

leftover taco meat, reheated (I just microwave it until warm)

leftover Mexican grated cheese

leftover sliced black olives

leftover diced onions (if you prefer your onions cooked, just throw them in the pan when you put in the eggs)

leftover jalapeno slices, diced finely

what other leftovers have your got that might go well with this???

For top of omelet

leftover salsa

leftover guacamole

leftover sour cream

any other toppings you might have laying around

butter for medium frying pan

Directions

Whip together eggs, half-and-half and cumin.

Melt butter in hot skillet and immediately pour beaten egg mixture into pan.

As the egg cooks, gently lift it up around the edges and let the uncooked egg run underneath the cooked egg.

When the egg is cooked enough to be firm enough to flip, use a large spatula and flip the whole mixture in one quick motion (you need to be QUICK or the egg will tear and fall apart, leaving you with scrambled eggs instead of an omelet!).

As soon as it is flipped, turn off the heat under the pan (the residual heat will cook any uncooked egg that was left on top when you flipped the omelet) and begin to layer your omelet fillings, adding the re-heated meat first, then whatever taco leftovers you want to use.

Fold the omelet in half, covering the filling ingredients.

Slide the omelet out onto a plate.

Top omelet with whatever topping ingredients you want.

WAKE UP as you devour that spicy omelet!

PS – A Bloody Mary goes really, really nicely with this breakfast…and if you’re lucky enough to have any leftover tomatilla corn cakes…and maybe a cinnamon roll to counteract the spice?!?

How funny this is what my husband and I had for breakfast this morning. I didn't have everything you suggest, but I had a lot of them. It was delicious. Served the omelets with flour tortillas. Great minds must think alike LOL
