The only thing Spanish and Mexican tortillas have in common is shape.
Mexican tortillas are made of either wheat or corn and are round and flat and THIN. Originally they were used to move food instead of tools.
Spanish tortillas are round and flat and THICK and they are a food in themselves.
Typically potatoes are cut in cubes about a centimeter on a side. The are partially cooked in a fry pan with olive oil and onions if you wish to have the onions. When they are partially cooked beaten eggs are added to cover the potatoes, the heat is lowered while the whole thing cooks. When it has cooked sufficiently that it can be turned over without getting eggs and potatoes all over the stove, then it is turned over in ONE PIECE and finishs cooking on the other side.
When it's finished, it is removed from the fry pan and cut into the desired shape/size.
When it is sent to work with a spouse it is sent cut in half and stored in a closed container exactly the same size that comes with every lunch bucket. Otherwise it is cut in wedges and served hot or cold as finger food.
Spanish tortillas can be made with most any fill you care for. My favorite is shrimp and asparagus.
