Start your weekend off right with this hearty meal combining two classic and well-loved breakfast recipes. This combines the traditional flavors of huevos rancheros—eggs, refried beans, cheese, and chiles—and serves them up in an omelet. This version has a twist in that crushed tortillas chips are folded into the omelet for some crunch. This version used green chili sauce, but you could serve it with red salsa if that’s what you prefer or have on hand. A nonstick pan is key here so that they omelet easily slides from pan to plate, but you could also use a well-seasoned cast-iron pan.
