Ingredients:

Serving

2 large eggs
1 tbsp 1% low-fat milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3/4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 oz ground beef
1 1/2 oz green bell peppers (finely diced )
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground ancho chili pepper
1 garlic clove (minced )
1/2 medium tomato (diced )
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 oz goat cheese

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk together the milk, only half of the salt and half of the pepper, and the two eggs. Do not whisk until it becomes frothy; just until it comes together without any dark bands of egg yolk. It should look even in its color.
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef, the remaining half of the salt and the remaining half of the pepper, the ground cumin, and the chili powder to the hot butter. When the meat is mostly brown, add the minced garlic clove and diced bell pepper. Saute until the meat is fully brown and the spices are fully incorporated on the meat.
Add the diced tomato, stir through the meat and peppers, and remove from the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium. Making sure that there is still a thin sheen of butter in the skillet, remove any stuck on bits with a spatula or wooden spoon. Add the extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet.
Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and spread the liquid out in the pan by tilting it from side to side.
When most of the egg has set (only a few, tiny patches of liquid remain), add the meat and tomato mixture onto the flat disk of mostly-cooked egg. Add this towards one edge.
Sprinkle bits of the goat cheese over the meat.
With a spatula, fold the eggs over on themselves, starting with the edge closest to the meat. Fold again and -if there is still space left- again. Fold until you've rolled up the eggs into an omelet.
Serve.
