Method
 

  1. How to Make Taco Omelette
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with taco seasoning until browned, about 6–7 minutes.
  3. Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add onion, green pepper, and jalapeños.
  5. Cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
  6. Combine vegetables with the cooked beef.
  7. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, salt, and black pepper until fluffy.
  8. This creates a tender omelet texture.
  9. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil or butter.
  10. Pour in a portion of the egg mixture. Cook 2–3 minutes until edges begin to set.
  11. Add half of the taco meat mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese to one side.
  12. Fold over and cook 1 additional minute until cheese melts.
  13. Repeat with remaining egg mixture.
  14. Top with salsa, sour cream, cilantro, olives, or chopped tomatoes.
  15. Serve immediately.

Notes

We tested this taco omelet recipe using both fresh ground beef and leftover taco meat. Using pre-cooked taco meat makes this an even faster breakfast option. For the fluffiest omelet, whisk eggs thoroughly and cook over medium heat rather than high heat to avoid browning too quickly.
