Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 4 large egg whites
• 1 cup canned white beans
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Thinly slice the onion.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and onion. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned.

Step 4

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the canned white beans. In a large bowl, lightly mash the beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into the bowl with the beans, add the egg whites, and whisk together until well combined. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.

Step 6

Once the potatoes and onion are cooked, remove from heat and allow them to cool slightly. Then add them to the egg and bean mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Step 7

Clean the skillet and return to medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 8

Pour the entire mixture into the skillet and spread evenly. Cook over low-medium heat for about 7-9 minutes until the edges are set, and the bottom is lightly browned.

Step 9

Using a flat plate, carefully cover the skillet and flip the tortilla onto the plate. Slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes until fully set.

Step 10

Once cooked, slide the tortilla onto a serving plate and allow it to cool for a few minutes before cutting it into wedges.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature as a high-protein meal, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
