For starters, adding some American or cheddar cheese will take this twist on an omelet into chili cheese territory. Even better, the addition of hot dog slices, onions, and jalapeños will give it a chili cheese dog flair."

If you want even more meat, or if you used a meatless chili, add ground beef, pork, or steak."
