Taco Omelet ala Vin
A little something from Vin's Kitchen.
OK, so you are wondering what to do with the taco meat leftover from dinner two nights ago? Well, here's my solution, quick, easy, and just plain tasty and good! Tacos are pretty flexible, and much good stuff can be added, or deleted to your taste. Here's what went into mine:
*2 eggs, obviously hard to make an omelet without them
*Shredded cheese(s) mine had some smoked swiss and some sharp cheddar
*Taco meat, enough to healthy fill one half side of the egg in the frying pan
*A few spoons of salsa
*Some diced onion (sautéed in butter and olive oil a little first in the pan before the beaten egg went in)
*I added some good old Frank's Hot Sauce, or optionally some diced up jalapeño would be good depending on how much heat you like, or don't like.
Another option that would work but I didn't have any and that would be a dollop of sour cream served with it. But, as I said above there's a bunch of things that can be added to tacos like diced peppers, a variety of different cheeses, and some diced cilantro (wished I had that, would have looked good sprinkled over the top in the photos)...all to taste!
My trick with omelets is not to turn it in the pan. I pour the beaten egg into a medium hot pan with butter or olive oil, or both, and as it's setting up I add the cheese and other fillings. When the egg looks mostly setup and able to be removed to a dish I do so and finish the cooking process in a microwave...25 seconds is usually enough to finish the cooking process. This makes the best and creamiest omelets IMO, and I'd recommend doing this, unless you like your eggs brown and crispy, I don't.
