Description

Carnitas Omelette

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs

  • 2 tbsp milk (for fluffiness)

  • 1 tbsp butter or oil

  • 1/2 cup leftover carnitas (crispy shredded pork)

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)

  • 1/4 cup diced onion

  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper or jalapeño (optional, for heat)

  • 1/4 cup fresh salsa or pico de gallo

  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

  • Sour cream & avocado slices (for serving)


Instructions

  1. Prepare filling: Warm up carnitas in a skillet until slightly crispy. Add onions and peppers, cooking until softened. Remove and set aside.

  2. Beat eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.

  3. Cook omelette base: Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium. Pour in eggs, swirling to coat evenly. Cook until the edges set but the top is still slightly soft.

  4. Add filling: Place carnitas mixture and cheese on one half of the omelette. Cook until cheese melts.

  5. Fold & serve: Gently fold omelette over filling. Slide onto a plate and top with salsa, cilantro, avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
