# Instructions:
01 -
Heat 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of ghee in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, then sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and soft.
02 -
Toss in the diced green bell pepper and stir, cooking for about 1 minute until it just starts to soften.
03 -
Add the chorizo to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it's fully cooked through. Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
04 -
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
05 -
Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in half of the egg mixture and tilt the pan to spread it into a thin circle. Cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.
06 -
Spoon half of the chorizo mixture over one half of the egg circle. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the egg over to create a half-circle omelette.
07 -
Gently slide the finished omelette onto a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining teaspoon of ghee, egg mixture, and chorizo filling to make the second omelette.
08 -
Serve the omelettes immediately with your choice of toppings such as sliced avocado, fresh salsa, chopped cilantro, or compliant sour cream.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure to use sugar-free, Whole30-compliant chorizo if following a strict Whole30 diet.
02 -
For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of ghee.
03 -
This omelette works great for meal prep - just reheat gently in a microwave or skillet.
