Spanish-Style Sweet Potato Tortilla

I finally got around to trying a recipe that I had my eye on in my Clean Eating Quick and Easy Meals book.  It was in the 20 minutes or less section, but with the tweaking that I did to the cooking and amount of ingredients it took more like 35 minutes.  It was darn worth the wait though!

I love meals that you can throw together and then sit down and eat without prepping lots of side dishes.  I'm already imagining all kinds of variations of this one!

Spanish-Style Sweet Potato Tortilla
Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs of sweet potatoes (2 large) peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
• 4 cups of spinach
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 5 whole eggs
• 6 egg whites
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 360 degrees. 
• Steam sweet potatoes for 10-12 minutes (I wrapped them in a wet paper towel and microwaved them for 9 minutes...then cut into slices and peeled skin off.)  
• Meanwhile, add olive oil to skillet and sauté onions over medium heat.  Once they get soft add in the spinach until it wilts. 
• In a large bowl, scramble eggs, egg whites, and salt and pepper. 
• Add the sweet potatoes and egg mixture to the skillet and slowly mix. 
• Heat on medium-high for 2 minutes. Then transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until firm. 

And....just for good measure I decided to make my chocolate avocado mousse with strawberries and almonds for dessert! You can find the recipe here. 

Delish!
