Step 1:
How to make a tortilla cake with filling in a frying pan? Prepare the ingredients. You can take ready-made tortillas, or you can bake them at home yourself. If you don't like green onions, replace them with fresh herbs or leeks.
Step 2:
Put a frying pan on a small fire and heat it up. If you wish, you can add a little vegetable oil, but I usually do not do this. Put one tortilla in a frying pan and heat for 2 minutes. Then turn the tortilla over to the other side.
Step 3:
Break the eggs into a bowl, season them with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly with a fork until smooth. Carefully pour the eggs on the tortilla, which is in the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and fry the tortilla for 5-7 minutes. The eggs should be almost completely cooked.
Step 4:
Rinse the green onions, dry them and cut them. Sprinkle the top of the eggs over the entire surface.
Step 5:
Wash the tomato, dry it and cut it into cubes. Put it on the eggs as well.
Step 6:
Grate the cheese on a fine grater and cover the top of the tortilla.
Step 7:
Put the second tortilla on the cheese, press it down a little.
Step 8:
Using a wide spatula, gently turn the tortilla over and fry it for another 3-4 minutes. The bottom should be browned, and the cheese should melt.
Step 9:
Remove the tortilla from the pan and cut into four pieces. Immediately serve the dish to the table until the cheese is frozen.
Step 10:
Bon appetit!

Tortilla is a very thin tortilla that is made from wheat or corn flour. They are very popular in South America and, in particular, Mexico. It can be used as bread or an addition to other dishes. Fillings can also be completely different. They are made with meat, chicken, fish and even with sweet filling. Tortillas can be rolled in half, rolled or layered. It all depends on your taste and desire. It is good to take them with you on hikes instead of bread, and sometimes they can replace a spoon if necessary. And if you don't want to mess with the filling, you can just eat these tortillas, dipping them in various sauces or chocolate.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Any cheese is suitable for this dish — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.
