Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 ounces Low-sodium chorizo
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Non-fat milk
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the olive oil is heated, add the diced red bell pepper and cook for about 2 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 3

Add the low-sodium chorizo to the skillet, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spatula. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, non-fat milk, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the chorizo and red bell pepper in the skillet.

Step 6

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Occasionally lift the edges with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath.

Step 7

Sprinkle the omelette with the low-sodium cheddar cheese and green onions. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the omelette cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.

Step 8

Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, folding it in half.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
