Spanish tortilla with potatoes, peppers, and eggs is a hearty dish with a rich history. While it is associated with Spain, the Mexican version brings its spicy individuality. Golden potatoes, sweet onions, and aromatic peppers are fried to perfect texture and then combined with airy eggs infused with fresh herbs. The result is a delicious tortilla with a crispy crust and tender center. Its flavor is rich and harmonious, each note perfectly complementing the other. This dish is versatile: served as an appetizer, light dinner, or base for culinary experiments. In Mexico, it is often eaten with salsa or sour cream for added zest. The simplicity of preparation and rich flavor make the tortilla a favorite in home cooking.
