Ultimate Steak Omelet w/ Jalepeno Poppers

I have had a request for a recipe using, tortillas, Jalapenos and salsa. Though this is not my area of expertise per se, I do have a bangin' omelet that I think will fit the bill.

Ultimate Steak Omelet
4 eggs
2-3 0z of cooked steak, cut in small pieces. (I use leftovers for this.)
1 small potato, chopped in small pieces
2 Tablespoons of onion, chopped
2 Tablespoons of green bell peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons of tomato, chopped
Olive oil
1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Salsa
Sour Cream
Warm Flour Tortillas

Place chopped potato in a microwave safe bowl with enough water to cover potato. Microwave 3-4 minutes to partially cook potatoes. In a skillet saute' onion & bell peppers in oil until tender. Add potatoes and continue to cook until potatoes are done. Set aside.
Whisk eggs until mixed well. Add about a Tablespoon of milk to eggs, stir.
Return skillet to burner and add egg mixture. Stir a few times to keep mix from sticking to pan.
Add steak. When eggs are firm enough to flip, turn over to cook top side. Sprinkle the omelet with cheese and chopped tomato. When cheese is melted, remove from pan. Top with sour cream and salsa. Serve with warm tortillas and Jalapeno Poppers.

Jalapeno Poppers
4 whole Jalapeno peppers, seeded.
Jack or chedddar cheese
Corn meal
Cooking spray or oil

Cut tops off of 4 Jalapeno peppers. Gently scrape out seeds. Cut pieces of Jack or Cheddar cheese to fit in pepper cavity. Place cheese inside pepper and replace the pepper top. Spray pepper with cooking spray or rub with a dab of oil. Roll peppers in corn meal to coat. Place under broiler until cheese is bubbly, be careful not to burn the peppers.

This is an excellent meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can eat the tortilla a side bread or use it as a wrap for your eggs. The salsa and poppers give the meal a little extra zip. Yum!

Serves 2 heartily.


So what's it cost? This is one of those meals that if you have a nicely stocked pantry, the cost is minimal. I will price it as if you have the ingredients on hand since we need such a small amount of each ingredient.

This recipe is one I use leftovers to make. If I have leftover baked potatoes & steak
everyone knows what will be breakfast the next day. Hint: I usually make a little extra the night before, so I am sure to have leftovers. Wink, wink! If using leftover potatoes there is no need to microwave them, simply chop and add to the skillet.

Happy cooking!
