7/10 Mexican Omelet for 1

Background - Well, this might be my very first completely original recipe...I took the leftover shredded beef, tomato/cilantro/scallion mixture, and shredded cheese from last night's tacos and used them as filling for an omelet this morning. Holy cow, this thing is good....I'm proud.

Here are the ingredients:

1. Heat up a small amount of shredded beef and juice. Keep it covered so it doesn't dry out. I didn't have a lid for the small pan so I used aluminum foil.
2. Scramble 2 eggs and add a tiny bit of water. I saw a show once where a restaurant cook said to add a little bit of water to the eggs when making omelets. I've done it ever since.
3. Heat a skillet and add vegetable oil. Spread out and add the eggs. Let them set most of the way before adding ingredients.
4. Add cheese, then veggie mixture, and then shredded beef. Fold omelet over. I added the rest of the beef and cheese to the top, for the photo op ;)

Finished! Enjoy with a dollop of sour cream!

    1. OK, so I researched it, and supposedly the water turns to steam and makes the omelet fluffier. How 'bout them apples!!!!
