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. 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. 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. 3

    Drain the cooked potatoes and onions from the oil, and whisk the eggs in a large bowl with half the salt.

  4. 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. 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. 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. 7

    Slide the finished tortilla onto a serving plate and spread a thin layer of Mexican crema over the top.

  8. 8

    Top the tortilla with the roasted corn, crumbled cotija cheese, chili powder, and fresh cilantro, then serve with lime wedges.
