- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 cup cooked chicken or turkey, chopped into chunks

How to Make Mexican Chicken Omelet
Place the ½ cup water with the tomatoes, olive oil and chili powder together in a blender or food processor and process to a smooth purée.
Transfer the tomato purée to a saucepan, bring to a simmer and let simmer for about 7 minutes, until quite thick.
Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and add the chicken or turkey. Reduce the heat to low while you prepare the omelets.
Whisk the eggs together with the water in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add some cooking fat to a non-stick skillet, heat it to a medium heat and pour ¼ of the egg mixture in it.
