Tips
It's best to serve the tortilla on a wooden board, cut into triangles. You can decorate it with fresh herbs, such as parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature with aioli sauce as a side.
Store leftover tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can heat it in a pan over low heat to maintain its delicate texture.
