  • 2 tablespoons of cream or whole milk

  3. Using the same pan, whip clean with a paper towel. Heat the other 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat, add the carrot and onion mixture and flatten it so as to cover the entire skillet evenly. Add the eggs and let sip through.

  4. Cook the tortilla over medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally to prevent sticking. When the center is cooked (no longer wet), turn the tortilla. I do it with the help of a plate and let it brown on the other side for about 8-10 minutes more.
