• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat.
• While the butter is melting, place the eggs into a bowl, add a few pinches of taco seasoning, then whisk until no strands of white remain.
• Give the pan a swirl, to completely coat the surface of the skillet.
• Add the eggs.
• Swirl the pan again to evenly distribute the eggs, and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
• Let the egg mixture sit, undisturbed for about 60 seconds.
• Take a spatula, pull in from the sides and incorporate the still liquid parts of the egg into the cooked bits.
• Chef's Tip: Continue to swirl the pan, so the omelet does not stick.
• After most of the liquid parts are cooked, the top will still be a bit runny.
• Remove from the heat and let stand for about 2 minutes. Remember to swirl the pan a few times during this waiting process.
• Return the pan to the heat, and add the cheese, then spoon on some salsa, and a few black olives.
• Chef's Note: Keep these items in the middle third of the omelet.
• Fold the two sides of the omelet over the cheese, then slide onto a plate.
• Chef's Note: You will notice that I turned the omelet over and put the folded side on the bottom. This is optional; however, for presentation purposes, I think it looks nice. We eat first with our eyes.
• Add the taco meat. I like to add it perpendicular to the omelet.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Serve while nice and hot with a dollop of sour cream, and a bit of additional salsa on the side. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
