Tex Mex Spinach Omelet With Corn Pepper Relish Recipes

TEX-MEX OMELET

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together the milk, only half of the salt and half of the pepper, and the two eggs. Do not whisk until it becomes frothy; just until it comes together without any dark bands of egg yolk. It should look even in its color.
• In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
• Add the ground beef, the remaining half of the salt and the remaining half of the pepper, the ground cumin, and the chili powder to the hot butter. When the meat is mostly brown, add the minced garlic clove and diced bell pepper. Saute until the meat is fully brown and the spices are fully incorporated on the meat.
• Add the diced tomato, stir through the meat and peppers, and remove from the skillet.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Making sure that there is still a thin sheen of butter in the skillet, remove any stuck on bits with a spatula or wooden spoon. Add the extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet.
• Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and spread the liquid out in the pan by tilting it from side to side.
• When most of the egg has set (only a few, tiny patches of liquid remain), add the meat and tomato mixture onto the flat disk of mostly-cooked egg. Add this towards one edge.
• Sprinkle bits of the goat cheese over the meat.
• With a spatula, fold the eggs over on themselves, starting with the edge closest to the meat. Fold again and -if there is still space left- again. Fold until you've rolled up the eggs into an omelet.
• Serve.

TEX-MEX SPINACH OMELET WITH CORN-PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• In a small dish combine all the ingredients for the relish; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg substitute or eggs with the cilantro, salt to taste and dash of cumin.
• Spray a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat until hot.
• Pour the egg mixture into prepared skillet.
• Cook, without stirring, until egg mixture begins to set on the bottom and around edge.
• Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting egg mixture so uncooked portion flows underneath.
• Continue cooking and lifting edges until mixture is almost set.
• Sprinkle with the cheese, top with 3/4 of the spinach and half of the Corn-Pepper Relish.
• Using the spatula, lift and fold an edge of the omelet partially over the filling.
• Top with remaining spinach and remaining relish.
• Cut the omelet in half; transfer to warm plates and serve.

TEX-MEX CORN

Steps:

• Pull back the husks from 4 ears of corn and remove the silk; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon chili powder. Cover with the husks and grill, turning, about 20 minutes. Fold back the husks and spread with a mixture of 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon chili powder. Sprinkle with grated cheddar and crumbled bacon.
