                                Spanish tortilla, or tortilla española, is a beloved and iconic dish in Spain, but its name often causes confusion among those unfamiliar with Spanish cuisine. Unlike the thin Mexican flatbreads, the Spanish version is a thick omelette that fundamentally requires eggs as a binding ingredient.
