Filled with sautéed veggies and melty Mexican cheese, this simple Mexican omelette is a nutritious, delicious way to start your day. Naturally keto, low carb, and gluten free, it’s loaded with protein, healthy fats, and fresh flavors to keep you full and satisfied ’til lunch.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • There’s a ton of flavor from the melty Mexican cheese to the bright, fresh, sautéed peppers, onions, and tomatoes. A Mexican omelette is a breakfast you can look forward to enjoying when you go to bed the night before.
  • The eggs are whisked with a little milk so they turn out super creamy and fluffy, for the absolute best egg texture. Nothing tough or rubbery or chewy about it.
  • Whole eggs and a bunch of veggies make this omelette super nutritious. The protein, fats, and fiber will keep you full from breakfast ’til lunch, plus you’ll get a hearty dose of vitamins and nutrients to help jump-start your day.

Chef’s Tips

  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs! Don’t wait until they’re fully cooked to add the cheese and veggies. Instead, cook the eggs just 2 or 3 minutes until they’re almost fully-set. You’ll want to cook the omelette a little longer to melt the cheese before folding it up, so if it’s fully cooked when you add the cheese, you’ll end up overcooking it.
  • Feel free to fully load your Mexican omelette. Add cooked black beans and corn, a drizzle of crema, even a serving of spicy chorizo and mushrooms. You can also season the veggies lightly with a little garlic powder and cumin or oregano.

    Excellent. I topped it with avocado cream and a bit of the vegetable filling.
