Betanzos Tortilla

Cultural Context

Originating from the coastal town of Betanzos in Galicia, Spain, the Betanzos Tortilla is celebrated for its soft, almost custard-like interior, which contrasts with its slightly crispy exterior. Traditionally made with just eggs and potatoes, it reflects the region's emphasis on simple, high-quality ingredients. This dish is often enjoyed as a tapa or light meal and has inspired variations across Spain and beyond, where chefs may add ingredients like onions or peppers to enhance flavor.
