Ingredients

For the Pico de Gallo:

• 1 small tomato, finely diced

• 1/4 small onion, finely diced

• 1/2 avocado, finely diced

• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

• A squeeze of fresh lime juice

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Omelette:

• 3 large eggs

• 1 tablespoon milk or water

• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Start by preparing the pico de gallo. In a small bowl, combine the diced tomato, onion, avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado. Set aside.

2. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or water, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.

3. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan.

4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let the eggs sit for about 20-30 seconds until the edges start to set.

5. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and let the uncooked egg run underneath. Continue this around the pan until the top is mostly set but still slightly moist.

6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette.

7. Fold the empty half of the omelette over the cheese-covered half and cook for another 30 seconds to let the cheese melt.

8. Slide the omelette onto a plate and top it generously with the prepared pico de gallo and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side.
