un chile envuelto con un omelette.
I clearly should not write my sentences late at night.
On the word of the day I wrote something leading to this comment:
• esta parte no se entiende: pero ha sido servido incluso lo que pareció un chile envuelto con un omelette. -
• pon un hilo, amigo, a ver lo que dicen los demás

What I was trying to say was this:
but I have been served even what looked like a chile wrapped with an omelette.
What I meant to write was this (I do not know why I regularly screw up and write (and say) ha when I mean he):
pero he sido servido incluso lo que pareció un chile envuelto con un omelette.
I know I used true passive. I suppose I could have said: Me han servido..., or maybe se me ha servido...
I don't know where the rest of the error is:
Omelette is not in RAE, and may not work in Spain, but it is used in Spanish in some places.
By even, I meant they have served me all types of things that were not done properly, but I specifically wanted to mention this as the worst (not even being an attempt at a batter).
Basically they have served me what looked like a stuffed pasillo chile with an omelette folded around it. Basically by omelette, I mean a thin layer of cooked egg. Not an egg batter.
Any help in making my attempt understandable to Heidita would be appreciated.

I would say that "me han servido" is much clearer than "he sido servido" which actually sounds as if you were served to someone else. Envuelto sounds perfect to me as well as chile (this may change from country to country, I guess, but in Latin America you will definitely use it). Oh, here we will also say omelette, even if it is not a Spanish word. What I would suggest is that you say "envuelto en un omelette" instead of "con".

Claro, esta era la primera falta. pero esto lo entendí al menos. pero no así lo de un chile envuelto en algo...no se da por aquí, no lo he visto ni oído nunca.

A mí sinceramente me suena raro. Yo hubiera dicho: un chile dentro de una tortilla.
Ahora, la pregunta del millón: ¿Qué se entiende en las Americas por "chile"? en España es esto:
Super picante que solo se usa para cocinar. Algún loco lo comerá a secas...
Esto envuelta en tortilla o dentro de tortilla...para mí sería incomible.

Aquí la palabra omelette no se usa, siempre es tortilla.
Now this is why we discuss issues arising from Word/Picture of the Day posts in a new thread! Not only do we really improve our Spanish, but I've learnt loads about my favorite food - the chilli pepper! 
Gracias a todos!
Wow, pasillo chile??? ¿eso qué es?
ves, hablamos otro idioma jeje
Ahora que lo pienso, mira, lo primero que pensé: ¿pero cómo puede estar un chileno envuelto en una tortilla?
jejeje
Ni es correcto chile, que es el país, ni lo es envuelto, ni omelette.
Yo me fui a ver la foto, jejeje, pero a ver lo que dicen los demás
Se me olvida el español mexicano. Soy fanático de los omelettes , Me gustan preparados con dos huevos, cebolla, ají dulce, y queso chédar. Mientras se cocina pongo chile ancho en polvo. Si hay jamón, lo incluyo. Si no, me sirvo al lado embutidos o tocino. Este hilo me inspiró a buscar videos. En uno (con otros ingredientes), el cocinero no puso los huevos hasta que lo demás estaba (¿estuviera?) cocinado. Salió la receta más o menos como huevos revueltos mezclados con los ingredientes. El cocinero era español. Así lo voy a preparar pasado mañana.

So envuelto must at least work with bacon?
Yours is a bell pepper, the poblano is likewise mild, but a different shape, longer and narrower and thinner but not as thin or narrow as an anaheim pepper:
Poblano:
Anaheim:
I think I meant poblano chile. I don't look at the name at the store, I just buy what looks right.
Ahhh, ya veo, eso es sinceramente lo que me imaginaba, pero claro, no estaba segura.
Un "chile poblano" en España sería un "pimiento verde ". No es picante y se usa para cocinar, o incluso se sirve relleno de algo.
