  These are the recipes I used to assemble these taco omelets If you have your own taco meat, excellent, if you do not, this is a keeper: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/main-course-beef/slow-cooker-taco-meat-with-homemade-taco.html?r=6 Lots of good salsas out there, this is one that I love to make: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/salsa/salsa-essentials-lime-green-chili-salsa.html?r=3 I make the omelet is a similar fashion to this recipe, except I do not scramble the eggs: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/breakfast/egg-breakfast/creamy-scrambled-eggs-2.html?r=1 Here is a great taco seasoning that you will be using over-and-over again: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-other-side-dish/andys-taco-seasoning.html?r=5
• 
  Step 4
  Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  Step 5
  Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat.
• 
  Step 6
  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.
• 
  Step 7
  Give the pan a swirl, to completely coat the surface of the skillet.
• 
  Step 8
  Add the eggs.
• 
  Step 9
  Swirl the pan again to evenly distribute the eggs, and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
• 
  Step 10
  Let the egg mixture sit, undisturbed for about 60 seconds.
• 
  Step 11
  Take a spatula, pull in from the sides and incorporate the still liquid parts of the egg into the cooked bits.
• 
  Step 12
  Chef’s Tip: Continue to swirl the pan, so the omelet does not stick.
• 
  Step 13
  After most of the liquid parts are cooked, the top will still be a bit runny.
• 
  Step 14
  Remove from the heat and let stand for about 2 minutes. Remember to swirl the pan a few times during this waiting process.
• 
  Step 15
  Return the pan to the heat, and add the cheese, then spoon on some salsa, and a few black olives.
• 
  Step 16
  Chef’s Note: Keep these items in the middle third of the omelet.
• 
  Step 17
  Fold the two sides of the omelet over the cheese, then slide onto a plate.
• 
  Step 18
  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.
• 
  Step 19
  Add the taco meat. I like to add it perpendicular to the omelet.
• 
  Step 20
  PLATE/PRESENT
• 
  Step 21
  Serve while nice and hot with a dollop of sour cream, and a bit of additional salsa on the side. Enjoy.
• 
  Step 22
  Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
