Today’s for Tuesday’s Dish I’m sharing a new yummy omelet I tried. I recently purchased the Tupperware omelet maker for the microwave so I’ve been trying different omelets in the morning. (I do love a good omelet!) This is a great one, especially this time a year when we are trying to watch what we eat in between all those holiday parties. (The capsaicin in the peppers contains a compound that signals your brain that you are full, according to Dr. Oz, so this has an added benefit.) Thanks Dr. Oz for the great recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp diced bell pepper
- 2 tbsp low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp salsa
- 1/4 sliced avocado
Directions
- Pour ingredients into a bowl and whip together.
- Pour into microwavable omelet bowl.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check for consistency.
- Add time if necessary.
- Serve with salsa on top.
If you don’t have a microwavable Tupperware omelet maker, try this trick:
- Beat eggs and water together.
- Pour mixture into 1 medium-size resealable, steamable sandwich bag.
- Add beans, peppers, cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Seal bag and lay flat in microwave.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute or until eggs are set.
- Carefully open bag and slide omelet on to a plate.
- Serve with salsa on top.
