When I was in Spain, my grandmother in law taught me how to make a traditional Spanish Tortilla. Although I can barley speak Spanish and she can't speak a word of English, it was a great way to learn how to cook. She suggested that there can be many variations on the recipe, including other vegetables or cheese. Well I assume she said that. Ha.
