- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat; add the egg-onion mixture.

- Place a plate over the top of the skillet; holding firmly together, invert the plate and the skillet so the tortilla falls onto the plate.
- Slide the tortilla back into the skillet, browned side side up; Cook until the bottom is browned and the inside is cooked through BUT still moist, about 5 minutes.

Flipping the Tortilla took me back to my childhood - Saturday night Mom often made a Danish omelete and it had to be flipped onto a plate and slide back into the pan - It can be tricky! I cut back on the oil for the onions but used the 2 tbsp of oil for frying the tortilla - you want it nice and loose on the pan before flipping it. IT WORKED!. I added some chopped left over oven fried potatoes to the onions. Cut the recipe back to 2 eggs used a skillet size so the mixture would be apprz 1/2" deep. Barb this is a wonderful tasty egg dish suitable for brunch lunch or dinner. Thanks for giving me a very enjoyable Sunday Brunch
