bocadillo-de-tortilla

I was recently in Spain, and this was what I craved almost every single morning while I was there. When you hear the word "tortilla" I'm sure you immediately think of our beloved Mexican tortillas. When in Spain, however, this word means "omelette", and it's a delicious one at that. The most popular type is a tortilla de patatas, an omelette consisting of thinly sliced potatoes and sweet fried onions. You can either eat this plain or throw it in a sandwich, known as a bocadillo. I love rubbing my bread down with a tomato for some added flavor and moisture. This might seem pretty simple, but it's everything you want in a sandwich, and more. You can make the tortilla a day in advance if you'd like. I will say that no matter the amount you make, make sure to use a pan so that the final result comes out a little over an inch thick.
