Get your meals quickly and easily with a little advance planning. A busy life can still find enough time for healthful meals when you have enough basic ingredients in your pantry. When you have extra time, cook ahead and freeze family-sized portions for reheating so you can relax and pamper yourself with some “me” time.
Lunch or dinner can be made simply with a few ingredients and one or two skillets. Get your carbohydrates, fats, proteins and vegetables all served together in a delicious skillet toasted soft flour tortilla omelet. Use the suggested ingredients below, or make up your own flavorful combinations that you know your family will enjoy.
Per Serving:
1 large soft flour tortilla
1-1/2 to 2 beaten eggs (with milk added)
2 ounces (or more) very thin ham slices to cover bottom of tortilla
Mushrooms, onions, broccoli, red or green pepper chopped in small pieces
Shredded cheese in desired quantity
Over low heat using one or two 7 or 8 inch skillets, melt enough butter to grease the bottom of the pan and partially up the sides. Place tortilla in pan so that the edges of the tortilla go up the side of the pan and form a shallow bowl.
Add ham, beaten egg, vegetables and cheese, then cover the pan. When the eggs have cooked, the bottom of the tortilla should be slightly brown and crispy. Slide your tortilla omelets onto warmed plates and serve with a side dish of fruit.
