Best Potato Chip Tortilla Recipes

POTATO-CHIP TORTILLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs and 1 cup water in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly crush the potato chips into the egg mixture and let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chips are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the onion.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat. Add the egg mixture and cook until it begins to set, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are firm and the top is golden and slightly crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 5 minutes, then slide onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

SHRIMP AND POTATO CHIP TORTILLA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, a light sprinkling of salt and pepper, and the pimenton.
• Lightly crush the potato chips in the bag. Stir them into the eggs and let the mixture sit until the potato chips are soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour 2 teaspoons of the oil into a very small skillet over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is soft and starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shallot to a plate to cool.
• When cool, stir the shallot into the egg mixture. Stir in the cilantro and shrimp until thoroughly combined.
• With the skillet still over medium heat, pour in the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. When it starts to shimmer, pour in the tortilla mixture. Let it cook undisturbed for a minute or two, then shake the pan back and forth and run a thin spatula around the edges of the tortilla. If there is loose, runny egg, lift an edge of the tortilla with the spatula and tilt the pan to let the liquid egg run underneath. Cook until the top of the tortilla is still wet but no longer a runny liquid, 3 to 5 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the pan. Run the spatula around the edges of the tortilla and then all the way underneath it to make sure the bottom is not sticking.
• If your spatula is large enough, use it to flip the tortilla in the pan. Alternatively, take a plate slightly larger than the skillet, and invert it on top of the skillet. Using oven mitts, grab both sides of the skillet, also holding the plate, and quickly and decisively turn both skillet and plate upside down, inverting the tortilla onto the plate and removing the skillet.
• If the skillet looks dry, add another teaspoon or so of olive oil, and when it starts to shimmer, slide the tortilla back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Shake the skillet to straighten the tortilla, decrease the heat to low, and continue cooking until a skewer inserted into the center comes out dry, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Invert the tortilla onto a plate again, let it cool for a few minutes, and eat.

POTATO CHIP SPANISH TORTILLA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Beat eggs in large bowl. Add chips, tomato, sweet pepper, and green onion. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes while the chips soften.
• Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a broiler-safe nonstick skillet. Add egg mixture and cook slowly for 5 to 6 minutes or until the edges are cooked and pull away from the sides of the pan.
• Move pan to broiler; broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until the eggs are set and lightly browned. Remove from oven.
• Loosen the tortilla by running a heatproof plastic spatula around the edges.
• Allow to stand a few minutes before serving.

EGG AND POTATO CHIP TORTILLA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and position an oven rack 8 inches from the heat.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs.
• Transfer half of the eggs to another bowl, stir in the crushed potato chips and let stand until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining beaten eggs, serrano ham and piquillo peppers and season with pepper.
• In a small nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil. Add the egg mixture and cook over moderately high heat until the bottom is set and golden, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes, or until the top of the tortilla is golden and the center is slightly jiggly.
• Slide the tortilla onto a plate, quarter and serve.
