How to Make Ranchero Omelet

  1. **Prep the Beans:** In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm 1/2 cup of refried beans with 2 tablespoons of salsa. Stir until heated through (about 1 minute).
  2. **Whisk the Eggs:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 tablespoon of water until light and frothy.
  3. **Prep the Pan:** Coat a 7-10 inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat.
  4. **Cook the Omelet:** Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, or until the edges begin to set.
  5. **Create the Omelet:** Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges of the omelet towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat until most of the egg is set but the top is still slightly wet.
  6. **Add the Filling:** Spread the warm bean mixture evenly down the center of the omelet.
  7. **Cheese Please!:** Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the bean mixture.
  8. **Fold and Serve:** Using the spatula, carefully fold the sides of the omelet over the filling. Cook for another 15-20 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. **Finish and Enjoy:** Slide the omelet onto a plate and top with the remaining 1/4 cup of salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy!
