Ingredients
  

For the Chapati:

For the Omelette:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tomato finely chopped
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1/4 cup shredded cabbage
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika optional
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

For Serving:

  • Fresh coriander leaves optional, for garnish
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil and gradually add 1 cup of warm water, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s elastic and smooth.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Prepare the Vegetable Mixture:

  • In a bowl, combine the finely chopped tomato, onion, green bell pepper, grated carrot, and shredded cabbage.
  • Season the vegetable mixture with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika (optional). Mix well.

Prepare the Omelette:

  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
  • Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Pour half of the beaten eggs into the pan, spreading them out evenly.
  • Sprinkle half of the vegetable mixture evenly over the eggs.
  • Cook until the omelette is set and slightly golden on the bottom, then carefully flip it to cook the other side. Once cooked, set aside.
  • Repeat with the remaining eggs and vegetable mixture to make the second omelette.

Prepare the Chapati:

  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
  • On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin, round chapati.
  • Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Cook each chapati for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Assemble the Rolex:

  • Place one chapati on a flat surface.
  • Place one omelette on top of the chapati.
  • Add slices of ripe avocado on top of the omelette.
  • Roll the chapati, omelette, and avocado together tightly to form a wrap.
  • Repeat with the remaining chapati, omelette, and avocado.

Serve:

  • Cut the Rolex wraps in half and garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired.
  • Serve warm and enjoy this delicious Ugandan street food classic!

Notes

  • Avocado Alternative: For a variation, you can substitute the avocado with your favorite filling like cheese or sautéed mushrooms.
  • Make Ahead: The chapati can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
