Ingredients
- ripe (not overripe) plantains3 unitsliced thinly
- ½ unit
- diced ham or cooking ham½ cup
- eggs6 unitbeaten, with salt added to your taste
- sausage or Spanish sausage½ cupshredded
- ⅓ cup
- 1 unit
Method
1
Heat frying oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the thinly sliced plantains in batches and fry until golden on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per batch, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
2
In the same skillet with some of the remaining oil, sauté the diced onion over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Add the diced ham and shredded sausage to the onions, stirring frequently until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Stir in the sweet peas and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the fried plantain slices back to the skillet, gently layering them throughout the mixture.
6
Pour the beaten eggs with salt evenly over the plantain and meat mixture, tilting the skillet gently to distribute the eggs uniformly.
7
Cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes, until the edges begin to set and the bottom turns golden brown. Periodically shake the skillet gently to prevent sticking.
8
Once the top is still slightly wet but the bottom is set, run a rubber spatula around the edges and slide the tortilla onto a large serving plate, then place the skillet over it and flip to cook the second side for 2-3 minutes until golden.
9
Transfer to a cutting board, let cool for 2-3 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve warm.
