Huevos Rancheros Omelet with Spicy Chipotle
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/8 c. black beans
1/8 c. diced tomatoes
1 tbsp diced onion
2 tbsp diced green pepper
Terrapin Ridge Farms Spicy Chipotle Sauce
Directions:
Combine eggs, salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Beat with a fork until combined but not too frothy. Melt a little butter (1 or 2 tsp.) over medium-high to high heat.

Repeat the procedure at various spots around the edge of the setting egg mixture. Add black beans, tomatoes, green pepper, and onion. When eggs are set but still shiny, remove the omelet from the heat. The whole process should take just 2 or 3 minutes. Fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a warm plate. Drizzle Terrapin Ridge Farms Spicy Chipotle Sauce over the omelet and serve.
