Mexican tortilla

Hi health eaters!
As you may already know, we’re fascinated with travels, cultures and native people from all around the world. It’s often shown in our meals and the way they’re prepared or made. Well, recently we watched polish version of ‘Come dine with me’ and there was a girl who claimed that she cooked three Mexican dishes, although she has never been there before. And one of the participants said something that made us think about his words for a longer while. He said that you cannot prepare any meal from other countries as long as you are not there. Admittedly, we don’t agree with this statement, because we believe in the joy of cooking. And for us, it actually doesn’t matter if you’re Italian and cook Polish meals or if you’re Brazilian and cook Irish dishes. It’s all about having fun in the kitchen and making something tasty and healthy. Well, we also wanted to experiment in the kitchen, so that’s what we made, a Mexican Tortilla. Check the recipe and let us know what you think. Enjoy!
