This spicy chorizo omelet blends spicy, savory ingredients like chorizo and bell pepper, and is topped with cheese, avocado, salsa and sour cream.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 omelets 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz chorizo breakfast sausage
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 onion, sliced into strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

For Topping

  • shredded cheese
  • 1 avocado
  • salsa, homemade or store-bought
  • plain greek yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Set a 10″ skillet over medium heat. Crumble the chorizo and heat it until browned. If using a sausage link, remove the meat from the casing before crumbling and browning.
  2. Add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing until the onion is soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
  3. Remove 3/4 of the meat and veg mixture and set aside. There is no need to drain. Spread the remaining evenly across the skillet.
  4. Whisk 2 eggs in a separate bowl, then add to the skillet.
  5. Cook until there is only a very thin layer of uncooked egg on the surface and shaking the pan gently makes the omelet slide around.
  6. Flip half over onto itself, making a half moon shape.
  7. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top and continue cooking until the cheese has mostly melted.
  8. Transfer to a plate and top with sliced avocado, salsa, and plain greek yogurt or sour cream.
