Tortilla with a Twist!


I decided to make a Tortilla the other night but wanted to use up all the leftovers in the fridge. This is so delicious I've decided to share the recipe so I don't forget it.

Tortilla With A Twist

Ingredients:

*left over roast chicken, potatoes and sweet potato, roughly chopped
*onion and bacon, diced
*mushrooms & zucchini, finely diced
* 6 eggs beaten with some milk and a good handful of parmesan cheese

1. Brown the onion and bacon
2. Add mushrooms and zucchini and cook till slightly softened
3. gently stir through the leftover chicken and veg
4. smooth down and pour the egg evenly over the veg mix
5. pop into a mod over for about 20-30mins.

We had ours served with garlic bread and salad.

100% success rate. Based on the fact that the kids ate it all without any complaints! Woohoo!!! Plus I used up a whole heap of bitsy bits out of the fridge.

ETA: it's a twist on the original as the ingredients are totally different! The traditional recipe passed on by my Abuela, the real deal Spanish recipe is just: fried onion and potato in olive oil with lots of salt. Once it's all soft, scoop out the potato. Add back into the pan with the beaten eggs and fry one side & then turning the whole omelet with a large dinner plate. So a hugely different recipe, but one that is diet and salt intake sensitive.
