Cowboy Chili Omelette


Cowboy Chili Omelette, originally uploaded by Sweet Sugarplums.

This seems to be the boys' favorite omelette. It's simply a cheese omelette with some canned chili con carne added to the filling and over the top.

I'm not going to post a recipe for an omelette; there are several great recipes on RecipeZaar, Allrecipes, Food Network, etc. Here's how to modify a cheese omelette recipe

COWBOY CHILI OMELETTE

2-3 whole eggs
cheese (cheddar, jack, or combination of the two)
canned chili con carne

Pour eggs into an 8-inch buttered non-stick skillet. Cook until partially set. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Spoon on about 1/4 cup of the chili con carne down the middle of the omelette. Cook over medium-low heat until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with salsa, Tabasco, green onion if desired.

Fold omelette in thirds on either side of the strip of chili. Slide out of the pan onto a plate. Spoon more chili over the top. Sprinkle with more cheese, if desired.
