I’ve mentioned in the past that I absolutely love breakfast foods. Waffles, pancakes, French toast, eggs, hash- you name it, I love it!
I particularly enjoy eggs, cooked in any style. I love making omelettes and stuffing them with a variety of fillings. I stumbled upon this recipe several years ago for an omelette with Tex-Mex flavors, and have been making then on and off since then. I recently made this when a Texan born-and-bred friend came to visit, because if there’s one thing that all Texans and Californians have in common, it is our shared love of Mexican inspired food 😎

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium low heat. Pour eggs into pan and sprinkle cheese over the top. Spoon the refried beans over half of the omelette, and top with onions and cilantro.

We have breakfast suppers once in awhile…this would be a great surprise some night!
