Chorizo and tomato omelette with chilli beans

The frying pan goes under the grill in this recipe, so you need a frying pan with an ovenproof handle, or cover the handle with a few layers of foil to protect it from the heat of the grill.

420 gram canned chilli beans

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 (170g) chorizo, sliced thinly

125 gram cherry tomatoes, halved

6 eggs

2 tablespoon milk

2 tablespoons lime juice

1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, loosely packed
