How to Make Chili Bean Cheese Omelet

  1. Finely chop 1/2 cup onion and 1 clove garlic.
  2. In a medium skillet, sauté the chopped onion, garlic, 1/2 cup canned chili beans (drained and rinsed), 1/4 cup chopped tomato, 1/4 teaspoon celery salt, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce in 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat until the liquid has evaporated (about 5 minutes).
  3. Set aside and keep warm.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and a pinch of salt.
  5. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
  7. As the eggs begin to set, gently lift the edges with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath, creating a thin and even layer.
  8. When the eggs are almost completely set but still slightly wet on top, sprinkle the chili bean mixture evenly over one half of the omelet.
  9. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the chili bean mixture.
  10. Carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the filling.
  11. Cover the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
