Preparation

Step 1

Heat 1 Tbsp. of the olive oil in a 1 1/2 quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the chorizo and saute for 2 minutes or until crisp.
Add the onion and garlic and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Stir in the tomato and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until thick.
Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs in a small bowl until frothy. Whisk in some salt and cayenne pepper.
Heat the remaining Tbsp. of olive oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Pour the eggs into the pan, tilting the pan gently to evenly distribute the eggs. Let the eggs cook and set for about 5 seconds.
Using a silicone or rubber spatula, gently pull the cooked egg from the edges toward the center of the pan while allowing the liquid egg to run back underneath and onto the hot pan. The omelet will cook in about 2 minutes. When it is fairly set but not overly firm, spoon about 4 Tbsp. of the chorizo-tomato sauce onto one side of the omelet.
As you slide the omelet onto the plate, fold it in half to cover the sauce. Top the omelet with a little more of the sauce and the avocado slices.
