Chorizo, Potato and Green Chile Omelet
- 1 link chorizo, removed from casing
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon canned chopped green chiles
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 ounce monterey jack cheese, shredded or sliced
- 1/4 cup salsa
- In a small nonstick skillet over medium high heat, brown the chorizo and onions until just cooked through (3-5 minutes) and transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the pan.
- Fry potatoes in the chorizo drippings over medium heat until browned and tender, 8-10 minutes, tossing occasionally to prevent burning.
- Lower heat, add chorizo, onions and chiles, then pour in beaten eggs and shake pan to evenly distribute.
- Cook on low until the bottom of the omelet is set and golden brown.
- Gently lift up one edge with a spatula after 3 minutes to check on the progress.
- When set, add cheese and salsa to one side of the omelet, then flip the other side over to cover.
- Cook on each side for another minute, then transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
