Step-by-step
- Spray a non-stick frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium-high heat. Add the peppers, shallots, garlic and cumin and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes then put the mixture into a bowl and scatter over the coriander.
- Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and spray with low calorie cooking spray.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a large measuring jug and stir in the chilli. Pour one-quarter of the egg mixture into the pan and tilt it around. Cook for 1½ minutes on each side or until the edges turn golden then loosen with a palette knife and slide on to greaseproof paper. Repeat to make three more omelettes.
- Spoon the vegetables on to the omelettes and roll them up. They’re now ready to eat – or you can cool them and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy cold or thoroughly reheated, with lime wedges to squeeze over.
