Dinner in under 10 minutes (Mexican Omelette)

Just so we are clear. I am not Mexican. I have never been to Mexico.The closest I have been to real Mexican food is eating Tacos in Los Angeles. And some homemade food(made by Mexicans) I had at a church bazaar(in Australia). And various forms of tacos, burritos, nachos - strangely mostly in North Queensland.

The ingredients for the omelette seem to have something in common with Mexican food (except no beans or tortillas) but other than that, I can offer no guarantees that anything like this has ever been made there.

Apart from it's dubious national origins, this omelette has one huge thing going for it. It takes less thank 10 minutes to make. Most of the ingredients can be bought and left in the fridge for a while. So it's the perfect dinner(or breakfast) when you have no energy

Ok, here goes - the vaguely Mexican inspired omelette.

Ingredients (serves 1)

2 eggs

2 tablespoons of milk

5 peppadews or roast peppers

7 pieces of sliced or one whole small jalapeno

1 handful of grated cheese

Salt and pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika powder

1 teaspoon butter

Slice the peppadews and roughly chop the jalapenos

Crack the eggs into a bowl.

Add the milk ...

 

 Salt and pepper...

Paprika powder....

 

Whisk until combined

 

 

 Preheat the pan on medium heat(I usually start this while chopping and doing the eggs).Melt the butter in the pan.

Add the eggs to the pan.

When it bubbles a bit...

Add the cheese....

(About this much)

  

Add the peppadews and jalapenos.

Fold over and cook for a few minutes until the egg on the inside is set.

And eat (with salad if you have some)
