Ingredients:
- 380 grams of ground meat, such as beef, chicken, or turkey
- 2 eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
- Olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 tortillas
- Melted butter (for brushing)
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 100 grams or more to taste)
- 30g spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp milk
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Meat
- Cook the Minced Meat:
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced meat and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and fully cooked.
- Season the Meat:
- Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste. Stir well and set the meat aside once fully cooked.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- Beat the Eggs:
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon of milk.
- Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the same skillet you used for the meat (no need to clean it). Scramble the eggs lightly over medium heat until they are just set but still soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Tortillas
- Layer the Tortillas:
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Brush it lightly with melted butter, then add a layer of the cooked minced meat.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the meat, followed by a spoonful of the scrambled eggs and some chopped spring onions.
- Top with Another Tortilla:
- Place another tortilla on top to form a “sandwich.” Brush the top with a little more melted butter.
Step 4: Cook the Tortilla
- Cook the Tortilla Stack:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the tortilla stack in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
- Repeat:
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all the stacks are cooked.
Step 5: Serve
- Slice and Garnish:
- Once cooked, remove the tortilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges or quarters.
- Enjoy:
- Serve these delicious, cheesy tortillas hot, accompanied by a fresh salad or salsa for dipping.
