The
tortilla I am referring to is not a flat pancake stuffed with
everything you can get your hands on. The Spanish tortilla translates
as omelette. It's great comfort food, served warm or cold for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Chorizo and pepper tortilla is a quick and easy dish for those days when you don't have much time to cook. Ideal to please the guests who arrived suddenly, with something simple and delicious. This is a perfect tapa to accompany with wine or beer; one has the assumption that tortillas have existed since prehistoric times. This egg-based dish has different ways of being made according to the different regions: tortilla de patatas in Spain, omelette in France, frittata in Italy, Fu Yung in China and so on all over the world. Many countries have one or several versions of this classic recipe.
Eggs are a complete food that should not be missing from any pantry. They contain macro and micro nutrients; they are rich in protein, fatty acids and minerals. They contain vitamins A, D, E, B12, folic acid, rivoflavin and phosphorus, among several other active ingredients. Egg consumption also helps the absorption of iron, ideal for strengthening our bones.
Chorizo and pepper omelettes are always a guaranteed success. Easy and quick to make, delicious, full of proteins and perfect for tapas or a lunch, accompanied by a green salad. Don't hesitate and prepare this delicious tortilla as soon as possible.Writing today's blog has given me inspiration to go and to try a tortilla with Asian flavours.

the pan with the chorizo mixture. Stir gently with a spatula allowing
the bottom to cook, pulling away at the sides to allow the egg on top to
