harissa_chorizo_omelette  | www.4hourbodygirl.com

Here is the recipe for this incredibly tasty omelet. Get more creative than just bacon and eggs. The bold flavors of the chorizo burst into your mouth, which is very satisfying. Avocado is a must with this dish too and you could also top it with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, but it doesn’t really need it. I would probably add spinach to this too. I like color in my food, it would go nicely and it adds some health benefits.
