I love this... The kind of food that shouldn't taste this good with such few basic ingredients... But it's awesome! Take me back to Spain... I miss it!
Cheap, easy, warming, delicious, healthy and on the table in less than 30min. What else could you want?
This is my version of spanish tortillas. There's no chorizo in it, but of course it is possible to add it :) ¡Que aproveche!
