How to Make a Mexican Omelette

Whisk the eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and 1/4 cup milk until smooth and slightly frothy.

Cook the veggies
In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp olive oil.

Add chopped onions and bell peppers.

Sauté 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in diced tomato and cook 1 minute more.

Remove from pan.

Cook the eggs
Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs into the same skillet.

Cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until almost set.

Add the filling
Sprinkle sautéed veggies and 1/4 cup shredded cheese over one half of the omelette.

Cook for 1–2 more minutes to melt the cheese.

Fold and serve
Gently fold the omelette over the filling.

Slide onto a plate and add optional toppings like sour cream, avocado, or salsa.

What to Serve It With

Fresh fruit or melon slices

Black beans or breakfast potatoes

Corn tortillas or toast

A side of salsa or pico de gallo

Iced coffee or Mexican hot chocolate

Variations / Substitutions

FAQs

Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Use almond milk or coconut milk, and substitute with dairy-free cheese.

What’s the best pan to use?
A nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron pan works best for easy flipping.

Can I add meat?
Absolutely—try cooked sausage, bacon, or leftover chicken.

Is it freezer-friendly?
Omelettes are best fresh, but you can freeze them wrapped tightly for 1 month.

How do I make it spicier?
Add diced jalapeños to the veggie mix or drizzle with hot sauce.

Can I double the recipe?
Yes, but cook one omelette at a time for best results.

What if I don’t have Mexican cheese blend?
Use cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack.
