Tortilla

Think you know what a tortilla is?

In Spain it is not the flour or corn thing outside of a burrito. It is an egg and potato omlette that is a popular tapa (appatizer or bar food).

I have made them before, and this one is my favorite. It is made with carrot and zucchini, because I like the color, but you can replace those with red pepper and garlic or peas and asparagus or any combo you like.
