Spanish Tortilla with Tomatoes and Chickpeas
Tortilla is a traditional Spanish dish—a thick and savory omelet made with potatoes that is very popular as a breakfast and lunch food in Spain.
It’s ideal for a nutritious breakfast but also makes a great lunch when paired with a fresh salad. It slices well, making it perfect for taking to work or school. You can also customize it with additional ingredients of your choice.
