Can I call this Mexican instead of Southwestern? I think I can. Pico and habanero salsa are straight Mexican, and eggs and tortillas, well.
“But Mosca, what the HELL is ‘omurice’?”
Idk, I found it by looking it up. I had some leftover rice, and, well, you know me by now, I always try to look for the absolute stupidest thing to make for breakfast, so I woke up in the middle of the night thinking, “What could be stupider than a rice omelet?” And I googled it (at four in the morning), and, guess what: it’s a thing! It’s Japanese, and it’s actually stir-fried rice, you know, with soy sauce and vegetables and stuff, but it’s a place to start!
But I have a refrigerator of Mexican and Southwestern stuff, not Japanese, so that’s where we’re going with this.
I have some pico de gallo, some leftover rice (from yesterday, I read all those articles about eating leftover rice), some habanero salsa, some eggs, and an empty bowl… “WHAT THE HELL, MOSCA? It this an AIR omelet? (You doofus!)” Nope. That bowl is actually important, as you will see.
Fry the rice in a neutral oil, and then mix in the pico de gallo. You don’t want it to cook, but you don’t want it cold, either.
Then make the eggs. You have to have some omelet skillz here; you want to have this set, but not browned on the bottom; and slightly creamy on the top, not cooked. It helped that I used two eggs instead of three.
Then you take that rice thing, press it into the small bowl (which then displaces that AIR, I an NOT a doofus), and invert it onto a plate (put the plate on the bowl and turn them both over together):
Now you have to get that egg on top of that rice. Remember I said you need skillz… your omelet pan better the hell be really non-stick, too. I slid it onto a plate (mostly, I’ve never done this before so gimmy a break)…
Then, with fingers figuratively crossed, I quickly flopped that on top of the rice dome!
The instructions say to use a tea towel to tuck the edges under. Right. I used a spatula. Who cares, I’m not serving the royal family,I’m just eatin’ breakfast here!
