2 Mexican Omelet
Ingredients
1 cup each chopped yellow and green peppers 1/2 cup chopped onions 4 whole eggs 4 egg whites 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup shredded light cheddar cheese 1/2 cup salsa

This take on Mexican cuisine starts with cooking the vegetables in a large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until they are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Now, remove them from skillet and set them aside. Beat the whole eggs, egg whites and water with a whisk until they are well-blended. Pour into the skillet and cover them. Cook for 6 minutes or until the egg mixture is almost set but the top is still moist. As the mixture sets, lift slightly with a spatula to allow the uncooked portion to flow underneath. Top the eggs with vegetables and cheese. Slip the spatula underneath, tip the skillet to loosen it and gently fold the omelet in half. Cover the omelet and cook for 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve it topped with basic salsa.

No.4 Grilled Lobster Tails With Grapefruit Salsa


Ingredients
6 10-ounce lobster tails raw 2 tablespoons olive oil 12 bamboo skewers, soaked for 30 minutes in cool water 2 medium-sized pink grapefruits 1/4 cup olive oil 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper 2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro leaves 2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint leaves 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (optional to balance out grapefruit sweetness) 1 pinch cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preheat barbecue to medium-high heat (475 F-500 F). Next, oil the grill grates to help prevent the lobster meat from sticking. Crack the underside of the lobster shells or cut them open with shearing scissors, but do not remove the meat from the shells. Run the soaked bamboo skewers threw the meat of the tail lengthwise to help keep it from curling up on the barbecue. Next, brush the meat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and place the tails over the heat and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the meat is just cooked. The lobster flesh will be opaque. Remove the shells, drizzle the meat with lemon juice and slice the tails into medallions.

Cover the dish and place in the refrigerator until it's ready to serve.
