Ingredients for Mexican frittata:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 corn tortillas (6″ diameter), day old, torn into smallpieces
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 medium jalapeno chili, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 small tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
- 4 egg whites
- A pinch of salt
This is what you do:
In medium skillet, heat the oil, and add the tortilla pieces.
Cook over medium heat, and stir often for about 5 minutes till lightly browned and crisp. Add the onion, jalapeno chili, and tomato stirring frequently for another 8 minutes, until the veggies go tender.
Stir the egg whites into the tortilla mixture. Sprinkle the salt.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook, shaking the pan vigorously once in a while to keep the frittata from sticking. Wait till the egg white mixture is almost set.
