1
Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat on medium heat.
2
Saute the onion and zucchini for a few minutes to soften, but not brown them.
3
Meanwhile, add the water, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper to the eggs and lightly beat to combine.
4
Pour egg mixture into skillet, over the onion and zucchini mixture, give it all a quick stir and then allow it to cook gently, untouched, for about 3 minutes.
5
Using a rubber spatula, gently lift egg around the edges, pushing slightly in toward the center, to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
6
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook about 3-4 minutes, or until the top is mostly set.
7
Pour the salsa in a straight line from one end of the omelet to the other, just off center.
8
Gently pick up the opposite side of the omelet with your spatula and quickly fold it over onto the salsa.
9
Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.
