Ingredients

baguette · egg · potato · chorizo · onion · olive oil · salt

The *Bocadillo de Tortilla con Chorizo* takes the plain potato omelette wedge and works pieces of chorizo into it, so the bread carries both the custardy egg and a thread of cured-sausage fat and paprika. This is a heartier register than the unadorned version: the chorizo is not a side, it is cooked into the *tortilla* itself, and its rendered orange fat colors the egg and pushes the whole thing toward something you eat as a meal rather than a snack.

The build is the standard omelette sequence with chorizo added before the egg sets. Potatoes are peeled, cut, and cooked slowly in olive oil until tender without hard browning. Chorizo is diced or sliced and briefly cooked so it renders some of its fat and firms up; the rendered fat is often kept and folded in with the sausage because that paprika-stained oil is half the point. Potato and chorizo go into beaten salted egg, rest so everything binds, then set in a hot pan, get flipped with a plate, and come out while the center is still *jugosa*. A wedge is laid into a *barra* or rustic roll. Good execution distributes the chorizo evenly so every bite has some, with the egg staying loose at the core and the sausage warm and yielding rather than hard. Sloppy execution is chorizo cooked to dry pellets, fat that turns the *tortilla* greasy instead of just rich, or so much sausage that the egg can no longer set into a clean wedge.

The main variable is the chorizo itself: a softer fresh-style sausage melts into the egg, while a more cured one stays distinct and chewy, and cooks lean one way or the other on purpose. Onion can join, and the same onion debate that shadows every Spanish omelette applies here, though the chorizo's assertiveness tends to settle the argument by drowning it out. A version made with fully cured slicing chorizo laid in cold rather than cooked into the egg is a different sandwich and deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here.
