I make what I like to call "Meat-Lovers on Crack" omelettes. It's pretty much a combination of any kind of meat you can think of. My favorites are Sausage, bacon, hamburger, ham, and turkey bits. My dad likes his with Kilbasa added to his. Summer sausage is good, also. Anyway, if it's considered a meat, it's in there. Add cheese, some onion, and a little salt and pepper, and you're good to go!
Also: theres this stuff my parents used to make, and I don't remember what it's called. They make it whe Scrambled eggs, salsa, cheese, sausage and bacon, all wrapped in a soft-shell tortilla. I'll post again when I find out the name of it.

I'm a bit of a bore when it comes to omelettes. I think adding too much often makes the whole affair a bit sloppy and flat. Having said that, I do love both:
Pesto & broccoli and
Cumin & sweet onions.
kcorder - I do love the idea of an omelette wrap.

Cheese (good cheddar) and onions. I guess I have pretty simple tastes.
And, for those looking for instructions on making omelets (it's easier than you'd think), I figured I'd highlight this quick video from our archives: How to Make a Rolled Omelet

I made a rolled omelet this morning! It had chickpeas, tahini, hot sauce, and arugula. So delicious. I also love any omelet with onions in it, regardless of what else is in there.

Anyone add sweet ingredients? I've known jelly or caramelized apples to be added...

Cheddar cheese and either broccoli or mushrooms, but I must have cheese in my omelets!

Room-temperature cream cheese and minced fresh jalapeños or habaneros.

A place I used to go to in San Diego ruined me forever for anything other than their avocado, bacon, and pepper jack omelette. Uh, it ain't bad?
