Tortilla Spanish Recipes

This recipe was created by my husband, Richard Wakefield, He added some ham to this when he made it. You could also top it with some low fat shredded cheese which will melt when you cover the pan.

This is a Tex-Mex twist on a Spanish tortilla. It makes for a filling, yet healthy breakfast or side-dish that you can prepare in the beginning of the week and eat off of for days.

Don’t confuse this with the flour or corn tortillas you use to make wraps. A Spanish tortilla is a potato-and-egg omelet found on numerous menus throughout Spain. Traditionally these are cooked in heaps of olive oil. Our version uses less oil, so it’s lower in calories, and if you use precooked diced potatoes, it’s faster too.
