- Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the tortilla onto the plate.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, then slide the tortilla back into the skillet to cook the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Transfer the tortilla to a serving plate and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
