Note: This recipe appears on http://www.weightwatchers.com/. I was looking for some good egg recipes to try and this looked so good. Plus, I've always wanted to try Huevos Rancheros thanks to Tyler Florence and Bobby Flay. Huevos Rancheros is the official egg dish of Mexico and it is SO good (this recipe). My omelets were not as brown as the last time I made them so I'm improving on that technique! These omelets are perfect for a weekend brunch or for a weeknight dinner because they are so filling and filled with the flavors of Mexico.
