Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for dough)
• 3/4 cup water (adjust as needed for dough)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 small tomato, finely chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 small green pepper, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Make the Chapati Dough

   In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water and 1 tablespoon oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Omelet Filling

   In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped tomatoes, onion, and green pepper.

3. Cook the Chapati

   Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin, round circle on a lightly floured surface. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Cook each chapati for 1–2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and cooked through. Set aside.

4. Cook the Omelet

   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until just set, gently folding if needed.

5. Assemble the Rolex

   Place a cooked omelet on each chapati. Roll the chapati around the omelet tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling.

6. Serve

   Serve the Rolex warm, either as a handheld wrap or sliced in halves for easy sharing.

Serving

Enjoy your Rolex with a side of fresh salad, avocado slices, or a hot cup of tea. This Ugandan street food favorite is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or an on-the-go meal full of color and flavor.
