Spanish Omelet in a Mug

Years ago I would laugh if someone suggested I try egg beaters. Since I discovered Hungry Girl and her many recipes for Egg Mugs I am a believer. I love her California Love Mug, Denver Omelette in a Mug and Egg Mug Mexicali. It is also so easy to make up your own recipe. Any omelet or quiche you have ever had can be adapted to an egg mug recipe. I have come up with a few and I will be sure to post them all one day. This is my recipe inspired by a Spanish Omelet. The flavor in this mug will remind you of a Spanish omelet you might get at a Diner or waffle house. It is loaded with veggies and the salsa/ketchup topping is sweet and spicy. YUM!
