Trader Joe's is bringing a taste of Spain to kitchens across the U.S. with its new Tortilla Española product.
For those unfamiliar, a Spanish tortilla is quite different than that of a Mexican tortilla. Instead of corn or flour, a Spanish tortilla is made from a mix of eggs, potatoes, and, often, thinly sliced onions, which gives it a taste and texture much more similar to that of a frittata. While this sounds simple, creating a Spanish tortilla at home can be a little complicated, which is what makes Trader Joe's ready-made Tortilla Española so brilliant. All you need to do is warm up the tortilla on the stovetop or in the microwave for a few minutes. Plus, it pairs well with a wide variety of toppers, including your favorite hot sauce.
