Hi Ruthjoe, I’ve never tried tortillas with vegetables before—this looks like a complete meal and it looks great. The best part is that it doesn’t require many ingredients. The one we make here does have onions, and I add garlic and tomatoes.
Good luck and best wishes for the challenge 🫂

Yea I guess that's Venezuela style of omelette just like the one over here in Nigeria.
It's a complete meal, after having it this afternoon, am still so full and it's 7:54pm right now. Yes it doesn't require much ingredients at all.
Am glad to know you like it.
What an interesting. I really enjoyed the way you present your French omelette just very simple and is not hard to prepare.
Wow the difference between the French omelette and Nigeria omelette is just almost the same thing. I will try theirs one by not flying it but cook it to see how the taste will look like.
But you really make me salivating.
