Delicious breakfast tortilla ready to be served
When you think of tortillas you probably think of the wraps that are used in Mexican food. This kind is from Spain; a wonderful breakfast dish with a base of potatoes, layers of vegetables, and meat if you want, topped by an egg mixture. A beauty of this Spanish Tortilla recipe is that it’s very flexible— you can use your favorite vegetables and meat, as long as they are layered over the potatoes.
This Spanish breakfast tortilla recipe was taught to me by Martin, a Spanish guy who my best friend in university married. The marriage didn’t last, but at least I always have this wonderful recipe!

Recently Rick and I had a delicious steak dinner, including this sauce recipe, that I’d had for many years but had forgotten. I was craving steak, especially as we don’t eat red meat very often; (unless we’re on a trip.) Luckily I found this recipe in a recipe box that I’ve had for about 40 years!
