Directions
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the cooking oil.
-
Add the chopped onion and minced jalapeo to the skillet and saut until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Remove the sauted onion and jalapeo mixture with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
-
Pour the beaten eggs into the same skillet, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
-
Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly moist.
-
Sprinkle the reserved onion and jalapeo mixture, cooked bacon crumbles, chopped tomato, avocado slices, and half of the Monterey Jack cheese over one half of the omelet.
-
Season lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Carefully fold the omelet in half over the filling.
-
Cover and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted.
-
Slide the omelet onto a plate, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and serve immediately with salsa if desired.
