Instructions

Prepare the Green Beans: Start by cooking the green beans in a pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Once cooked, quickly transfer them to a bowl of ice-cold water to halt the cooking process.

-
Slice the Beans: Once the green beans are cool, slice them lengthwise or diagonally according to your preference, ensuring they are evenly cut for consistent cooking.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add salt to taste and gently fold in the sliced green beans, mixing everything thoroughly.
-
Cook the Tortilla: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of oil. Once hot, pour in the egg and green bean mixture, spreading it evenly across the pan.
-
Cook on Both Sides: Allow the tortilla to cook for about 5 minutes on one side, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to check for doneness. When the bottom is golden and set, carefully flip the tortilla using a plate to assist in turning it over. Cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once both sides are cooked and the tortilla is set, slide it onto a serving plate. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for any occasion.
