At La Porteña, an Argentine restaurant in Jackson Heights, New York, spicy chorizo sausage is used to give this frittata-style omelet its heat. If you can't find chorizo, hot Italian sausage makes a nice substitute.

Preparation
Step 1
Sauté sausage in large nonstick broiler proof skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, crumbling with back of spoon, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towels. Add 1 teaspoon oil to skillet. Add onion, potato and bell pepper. Cover; cook until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly.
Step 2
Preheat broiler. Whisk eggs, salt and pepper in large bowl to blend; add vegetable mixture. Wipe out skillet. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover skillet and cook until eggs are set on bottom and cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Place skillet under broiler and cook just until eggs are set on top and cheese bubbles, about 2 minutes. Transfer omelet to platter. Cut into wedges and serve.
