Ingredients

  

• non-stick cooking spray
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 1/2 red or green pepper chopped
• 1 400g can black beans drained & rinsed
• 1 tsp each ground cumin + coriander
• 2 tsp paprika
• savoury chilli sauce or Tobasco sauce to taste depending on how spicy you are
• 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
• freshly ground black pepper
• juice of 1/2 a lemon or lime
• 2 large free range eggs
• 2 tbsp grated cheese
• 2 tbsp plain Greek yoghurt

Instructions

 

• Spray a non-stick frying pan generously with non-stick spray, then fry the onion and pepper for a minute or two over medium heat. You want them to still be crunchy, no need to fry until soft.
• Add the beans, spices, chilli sauce, salt, and pepper and combine. Taste, then adjust the seasoning. Turn the heat off and squeeze the lemon juice over the mix. Set aside.
• Spray a clean non-stick pan generously with non-stick spray, then heat to medium. NOTE – the omelettes work best in a smaller pan (about 20cm), and the non-stick quality needs to be high.
• Crack one of the eggs into a bowl, beat it with a fork until smooth, then pour it into the pan. Work quickly to swirl the egg so that it covers the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. After about 30 seconds, the edges should start to lift slightly. Use an egg lifter to gently lift the omelette and flip it over like a pancake. Remove the omelette from the pan and repeat the process with the next egg.
• Spoon the stuffing into the omelettes into the centre, sprinkle the cheese over the stuffing, then roll your omelette up.
• Serve with a blob of thick plain yoghurt. For a light lunch, add a fresh salad.
