How to Make Cilantro Red Onion And Jalapeno Omelet

Finely chop 1/2 cup red onion, 1/4 cup cilantro, and 1-2 jalapeños (or 1/2 green bell pepper) depending on your spice preference.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (or bell pepper), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well.
Divide the mixture evenly into two small bowls.
Crack 2 large eggs into each bowl.
Whisk the eggs and vegetable mixture together thoroughly in each bowl.
Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Pour one bowl of egg mixture into the skillet. Cook until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, fold it in half.
Cook for another minute to set the fold.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a warm plate.
Repeat steps 7-11 with the remaining egg mixture.
Serve immediately. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
