· 1/2 cup chopped sweet red and/or green pepper

· 1/2 cup water, divided

· 1 can (8.5 oz.) cream−style corn

· 1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies

· 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion with tops

· 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

· 6 eggs

· 1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil OR cooking spray

· 3/4 cup prepared taco sauce

· Fresh cilantro leaves, optional

In small saucepan, combine pepper and 2 tablespoons of the water. Cover

and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until pepper is tender,

about 4 to 5 minutes. Add corn, chilies, onion and garlic powder. Cook,

stirring occasionally, until heated through. Keep warm.

In small bowl, beat together eggs and remaining water until blended. For

each omelet, heat 1 teaspoon of the butter in 7− to 10−inch omelet pan

over medium−high heat until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.

Pour in 1/2 cup of the egg mixture. With an inverted pancake turner,

carefully push cooked portions at edges toward center so uncooked

portions can reach hot pan surface, tilting pan and moving cooked portions

as necessary. When top is thickened and no visible liquid egg remains,

spoon 1/2 cup of the reserved corn mixture across center of omelet. With

pancake turner, fold sides of omelet over corn mixture. Slide from pan

onto plate. Spoon on 1/4 cup of the taco sauce. Garnish with cilantro

leaves, if desired. Repeat for remaining omelets.
