"Based on the classic Spanish tapas, this tortilla can be served hot as a brunch or lunch dish. It work just as well at room temperature as an appetizer. What is presented here was inspired by Joie Warner's "take a can of tuna.""

ingredients

1 lb small red potato, cut into quarters or large bite sized chunks
¹⁄₂ lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 - 2 inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (6 ounce) can light chunk tuna in water, drained
2 -3 plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1 inch pieces
5 large eggs
6 large egg whites
2 tablespoons skim milk (optional)
fresh coarse ground black pepper
salt
¹⁄₄ cup sliced scallion, green part only

directions

Fill a medium saucepan filled with water to boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes until the potatoes are firm but tender. Add asparagus and cook an additional minute. Remove pan from heat and drain the vegetables well and pat to dry.
Combine the eggs and egg whites until well beaten. If desired add the milk and mix some more.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan with a heat proof handle. Add the potatoes and asparagus and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tuna and tomato and cook another minute.
Pour the eggs over the contents of the hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. While the eggs are still very wet, gently lift the sides of the eggs so that the more liquid parts slips under. Sprinkle the scallion slices on top. Reduce the heat to medium low and cover and cook for 3-5 minutes until the top is set but still moist.
Preheat the broiler to high. Place omelet under broiler for 1 or 2 minutes.
Slice the omelet into wedges and serve with salad.

An interesting and colorful combination for an omelet. I'd never mixed tuna with eggs before and the taste was a bit strong for me. I wrecked its "core" status by sprinkling some cheddar cheese on it. Thanks for posting!

I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. Some of my favorite public cookbooks include: <li>ladypit's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/33588> WW Core Recipes I Have Tried </a> </li>   <li>shirl(j)831's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/34888> Can this really be lowfat??? </a> </li>   <li>julesong's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/30566> Cooking Light Recipes </a> </li>   <li>mariposa13's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/44690> WW & Lowfat Recipes </a> </li> <img src=http://members.aol.com/sdnt4life/dpg.gif alt=Dirty /> <a href=http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/?action=view&current=kitchen-special-hot2-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/kitchen-special-hot2-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif alt=Image /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/4treasurehunt.gif alt=FFF#2 width=50% /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt=Image /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg alt=Image /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Adopted /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=PAC /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZaarWorldTourFirst.gif alt=/ /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif alt=/ /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt=/ /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/AnimatedHostChallengeBanner.gif alt=ZWT3 /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG alt=width=50% /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg alt=/ />
