Some (including me) cannot get enough of tapas. <\/span><\/p>\n

The endless possibilities and combinations of small delectable dishes can truly be satisfying, especially when you have to quickly improvise a dinner with whatever you have in the fridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

No tapas experience can be complete without a tortilla espa\u00f1ola <\/em>or tortilla de patatas, <\/em>which is a traditional Spanish omelette that includes potatoes and onions. It’s a true signature tapas dish full of flavor and simple to do.<\/div>\n
\n

Legend has it that it was Basque General Tomas Zumalac\u00e1rregui (a Spanish military officer during the First Carlist War), who invented the potato omelette \u201cfor necessity,\u201d being that it was a simple and nutritious dish that can satisfy the appetite of an army…at least, that is one of the better known versions of where the tortilla<\/em> originated from. <\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, it is a fantastic and filling dish, perfect for sharing. <\/span><\/p>\n
