Bocadillo de tortilla

One of the classic bocadillo sandwich varieties, bocadillo de tortilla typically consists of a thick slice of the quintessential Spanish tortilla (potato omelet) nestled between two slices of bread. This sandwich generally uses a rustic, Spanish-style baguette known as barra de pan, which is usually cut in half lengthwise and may (sometimes) get toasted to make the sandwich crispier. Although it’s usually as simple as bread and potato omelet, the sandwich may occasionally be drizzled with olive oil or rubbed with tomatoes or tomato sauce on the inside, or it may be enhanced with condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or Tabasco sauce. This traditional Spanish sandwich can be enjoyed either hot or cold, and it makes for an excellent, filling snack or a simple dinner. In Spain, tortilla sandwiches can be enjoyed at numerous tapas bars where they’re usually accompanied by a cold beer or a soft drink on the side.
