Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything to grab before you start:
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
• 1/4 cup chopped onions
• 1 small tomato, diced
• 1/2 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional for heat)
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 2 tbsp milk (for fluffiness)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• Fresh cilantro and salsa for topping
Step-by-Step: How to Make a Mexican Omelette
1. Whisk the Eggs
Start by whisking your eggs in a bowl with milk, salt, and pepper. This adds fluffiness and gives the omelette that perfect, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Pro tip: Use a fork or whisk for at least 30 seconds to get more air into the eggs.
2. Sauté the Veggies
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions, bell peppers, jalapeño, and tomato. Cook for 2–3 minutes until they soften and start releasing their flavor.

3. Pour and Cook
Lower the heat slightly. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies and tilt the pan to spread it evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle cheese over one half of the omelette. Cover with a lid and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the top is almost set.
4. Fold and Finish
Gently fold the omelette in half over the cheese. Let it cook for another 30 seconds. Then slide it onto your plate.
Top with salsa, a sprinkle of cilantro, and even a dollop of sour cream or avocado slices if you’re feeling fancy.
