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

Instructions
- Heat Fat: Heat 3 tsp (1 tbsp) of ghee in a pan over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables and chorizo.
- 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.
- Add Bell Pepper: Stir in the diced green bell pepper and cook for 1 minute to slightly soften it while retaining some crunch.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Set Omelette Base: Cook the eggs for about 2 minutes until the bottom is set but the top remains slightly runny.
- Add Filling: Spoon half of the cooked chorizo mixture over one half of the egg circle to prepare for folding.
- Fold Omelette: Carefully fold the other half of the egg over the chorizo filling to form a half-moon shaped omelette.
- Serve Omelette: Gently slide the omelette onto a plate to maintain its shape and avoid breaking.
- Repeat: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining egg mixture and chorizo to make a second omelette.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Serve immediately with optional toppings such as avocado slices, salsa, cilantro, or sour cream to enhance flavor and texture.
