It might be delicious, but...
Well, I am Spanish, and I live in Spain. And, believe me or not, Spanish Tortilla doesn't contain paprika, spinach, thyme, cheese...
Its only ingredients are eggs, potatoes, salt, and olive oil (nothing like canola oil, in fact it is even hard to find it here...) Some people like to add onion to it, some people don't do that.
Of course we do eat lots of different omelettes, but we don't call him Spanish Tortilla
I am really surprised when I read I come from an Spanish background, and we don't use olive oil because it gives the rest of the ingredients a different taste... Of course it does!! In fact, it is one of the most important things in this dish... I ask myself if you mean Spanish background from Spain or from South America...
But don't misunderstand what I said, I'm sure this recipe is great and savory, I am just pointing that it's not very similar to the traditional one.
Pros: It is healthy, rich in nutrients
Cons: Nothing to do with the traditional Spanish one
