Notes
Want to make this even better? Top with some shredded cheese!Here's the thing, cativías are fried, this is not. Drizzling each "tortilla" with a teaspoon of oil when you're cooking them makes them a lot tastier, but this recipe calls for the minimum oil necessary, in case you're watching your waist. Keep that in mind.
