Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large large eggs
  • 200 g minced meat about 7 oz
  • 1/2 unit onion, finely chopped
  • 2 small tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried garlic
  • Salt, to taste
  • 3 unit tortillas
  • 200 g mozzarella cheese, shredded about 7 oz

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced meat and onion, sautéing until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, red pepper flakes, and dried garlic.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and add the cooked meat mixture, parsley, and Italian herbs. Gently fold in the chopped tomatoes.
Assembly
  1. Take a tortilla and place it in the bottom of a baking dish. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over the tortilla.
  2. Pour half of the egg and meat mixture over the cheese, then add another layer of mozzarella.
  3. Place a second tortilla on top and repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a tortilla topped with cheese.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  2. Let cool for a minute before slicing into wedges to serve.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for added flavor. Customize the dish with your choice of proteins or vegetables for variations. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
