Heat Up the Pan: Get your day started by heating olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Sautéing the Base: Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook until softened and translucent. This forms the flavorful base for your breakfast tortilla.
Adding the Aromatics: Toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the fragrant garlic to mingle with the onions.
Colorful Veggies: Add the chopped carrot to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, until it starts to soften.
Star of the Show: Increase the pan volume by adding the chopped cabbage. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
Eggcellent Addition: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper. This creates a fluffy and seasoned egg mixture that will bind everything together.
Assembling the Tortilla Delight: Sprinkle the cooked vegetables in the pan with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese. This adds a creamy and gooey element to the finished dish.
Pour and Top: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese. Top it all off with the chopped green onion for a fresh touch.
The Tortilla Wrap: Place one tortilla directly on top of the mixture in the pan. Drizzle a bit of oil around the edges of the pan to aid in crisping the tortilla. Using a spatula, carefully flip the entire creation over, ensuring everything stays intact.
Melty Cheese Perfection: On the flipped side, sprinkle more mozzarella cheese over the top. Place the second tortilla on the pan, creating a sealed package. Cook for 3 minutes, allowing the bottom tortilla to crisp up.
Crispy Perfection: Gently flip the whole thing over one last time and cook for an additional 2 minutes to ensure the second tortilla crisps up and the cheese is melted throughout.
Slicing and Savoring: Once cooked through, transfer the cabbage egg tortilla to a cutting board and cut it into wedges like a pizza. This makes it easy to serve and share.
