Another Filipino favorite is Tortang Giniling or Ground Meat Omelet. Basically, it’s ground meat (can be pork or beef) sautéed with vegetables mixed directly with beaten eggs. Usually served during breakfast along with garlic fried rice, it’s very easy to prepare and the ingredients are readily available.
Here’s how I do it:
Tortang Giniling Recipe

Cooking Procedure

- Add the ground meat and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper then stir to distribute. Put-in the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs then pour over the ground meat then use a spatula to distribute the meat and eggs evenly.
