Instructions

1-Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced jalapeño and diced onion; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and halved tomatoes and continue cooking another 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the vegetable mixture to a plate.

2-Cook the Egg Whites: Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the whisked egg whites into the same pan and let them set, gently stirring once, for 2 3 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden and the surface is mostly set.

3-Assemble the Omelet: Remove the pan from heat. Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetable mixture over the egg whites, then add the diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and crumbled cheese. Fold the omelet in half or gently fold the edges toward the center to encase the filling.

4-Serve and Enjoy: Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with extra cilantro and cheese if desired, and enjoy while warm. This quick omelet is perfect served with a side of fresh salsa or sliced fruit for a complete, satisfying meal.

Notes

🌶️ Adjust the amount of jalapeño to suit your preferred heat level.
🛢️ If the pan seems dry, add a splash more oil or a quick mist of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
🥗 Feel free to swap or add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or spinach, based on what you have on hand.
