Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 5 tsp ghee (or coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 green bell pepper (diced)
  • 1/4 lb chorizo (removed from casing)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsps full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Optional Toppings

  • Avocado slices
  • Salsa
  • Cilantro
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat Fat: Heat 3 tsp (1 tbsp) of ghee in a pan over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables and chorizo.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened, building the flavor base.
  3. Add Bell Pepper: Stir in the diced green bell pepper and cook for 1 minute to slightly soften it while retaining some crunch.
  4. Cook Chorizo: Add the chorizo to the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for about 5 minutes until fully browned and cooked through. Remove the mixture from heat and set aside.
  5. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, full-fat coconut milk, sea salt, and ground black pepper to create a smooth batter.
  6. Heat Skillet for Eggs: Heat 1 tsp of ghee in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, ensuring it coats the pan evenly for cooking the omelette.
  7. Cook Omelette Base: Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it out evenly into a thin circular shape.
  8. Set Omelette Base: Cook the eggs for about 2 minutes until the bottom is set but the top remains slightly runny.
  9. Add Filling: Spoon half of the cooked chorizo mixture over one half of the egg circle to prepare for folding.
  10. Fold Omelette: Carefully fold the other half of the egg over the chorizo filling to form a half-moon shaped omelette.
  11. Serve Omelette: Gently slide the omelette onto a plate to maintain its shape and avoid breaking.
  12. Repeat: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining egg mixture and chorizo to make a second omelette.
  13. Add Toppings and Serve: Serve immediately with optional toppings such as avocado slices, salsa, cilantro, or sour cream to enhance flavor and texture.
