Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup white onion, thinly sliced
- 1.5 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Mexican crema or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece lime, cut into wedges
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat; add sliced potatoes and onions, cooking slowly until soft but not browned, about 10-12 minutes.
- 2
While potatoes cook, char the corn kernels in a separate dry pan over high heat until golden brown and roasted, then set aside.
- 3
Drain the cooked potatoes and onions from the oil, and whisk the eggs in a large bowl with half the salt.
- 4
Gently fold the warm potatoes and onions into the eggs and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- 5
Wipe the skillet, add a tablespoon of the reserved oil, and pour in the egg and potato mixture; cook on medium-low until the bottom is set.
- 6
Use a large plate to carefully flip the tortilla over and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for 3-4 minutes.
- 7
Slide the finished tortilla onto a serving plate and spread a thin layer of Mexican crema over the top.
- 8
Top the tortilla with the roasted corn, crumbled cotija cheese, chili powder, and fresh cilantro, then serve with lime wedges.
