Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions, jalapeno, and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften.
- Add corn, black beans, tomatoes, oregano, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer filling to a medium bowl, cover, and set aside. Wipe down the skillet with a paper towel to clean.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in the over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs, season with a pinch of salt, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs have just set. Remove from heat.
- Add the shredded cheese and the corn and bean filling mixture to the middle of the cooked eggs.
- Carefully fold the omelet over on both sides using a spatula, transfer it to a plate, and top with sour cream, chunky salsa, avocado, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Want it extra spicy? Use serrano peppers instead of jalapenos.
- Don’t have Mexican oregano? You can use regular oregano insead. I highly recommend you try to buy some Mexican oregano for next time as it has a different flavor than the typical oregano you can find in most stores!
- Don’t have shredded Mexican-blend cheese? You can use Monterey Jack, cheddar, or mozzarella.
