I’m celebrating Meatless Monday by bringing Mexican Meatless Mondays back this week! Hopefully, I’ll get on roll with this series again. It’s a great way to make Mexican food healthy
I always have Ortega green chiles in my pantry. I add them to burritos, beans, eggs and more. They are NOT hot or spicy at all. The can even says ‘mild’ and it is for real. But, they add a great flavor to dishes and I love it!
Ortega Omelet
{Serves one – Vegetarian – Gluten Free}
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs & 2 egg whites
- 2 Tb. diced green chiles
- 2 Tb. green onion
- shredded cheddar or pepper-jack
- avocado
- salt & pepper
Directions: Mix eggs (I always add a dash of milk to make it fluffier) and cook until though ‘omelet style’. Season with S&P. Stuff egg with green chiles and onions, fold over and top with cheese and avocado.
Enjoy!

I have a sad panda. Literally.
I bought a cute panda spoon from China and just found it broken. I wrapped it up in my clothes to keep it from breaking and put it through the wash on accident. #SadPanda
Question: What are you eatin’ for dinner?
Sydney says
Nommmmm. I love green chiles. Let’s find a recipe for some green chile egg enchiladas.
Nicole says
Tonight for dinner might be a salad from Panera or Chicken Maison’s chicken kabobs. I love omelets or scrambles any time of day! I had an veggie scramble with green chilies on Sunday for brunch….MMmmmm!

I too do meatless Mondays. Last night I made something I call the Gourd – spaghetti squash, zucchini, carrots & marinana sauce in the crockpot. Posting recipe soon!
Lora @ Crazy Running Girl says
Yum! Sounds tasty!
Laura @ RunningJunkie says
I don’t know what’s for dinner yet. I was actually thinking quinoa mixed with scrambled eggs and cheese…(Don’t consider me “meatless” though. I have a good amount of chili chock full of cow for lunch) but I don’t know if the BF and daughter will go for it. I may add kielbasa to theirs……
Linz @ Itz Linz says
YUM! eggs are one food that i could eat for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner everyday!
Jinxyjen says

We had meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. And, my 13 year old baked a cake from scratch….so it appears I made up for my light eating on Sunday by indulging on Monday. 🙂
