/2 cup chopped sweet red and/or green pepper  
/2 cup water, divided  
can (8.5 oz.) cream−style corn  
can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies  
tablespoons finely chopped green onion with tops  
/4 teaspoon garlic powder  
eggs  
tablespoon butter or cooking oil OR cooking spray  
/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.
