Avocado Lime Omelet - Simple 4 ingredient healthy breakfast

Omelets are a great source of protein and veggies in the morning. Sometimes omelets get a little “heavy” for me on hot summer days. When it is hot and humid (MN summers,) I go for cold or light but filling foods.

I first created this Avocado Lime Omelet recipe roughly 8 years ago. I needed to use left over avocados and limes, and I was craving a cooked breakfast. I didn't have AC in my house and so I didn't want any heavy. This Avocado Lime Omelet was perfect.

The omelet is light and airy, the citrus lime is bright and refreshing, and the avocado is rich and creamy. Top it off with cilantro for a fresh citrus hint and black pepper for a little zip. Delicious!
