Pinxo de Truitu is a traditional Spanish tapas dish consisting of a skewer or small piece of Spanish omelette. This type of omelette, known as 'tortilla española,' is typically made with eggs, potatoes, and sometimes onions. The pinxo version is often served as an appetizer or snack.
The dish originates from Spain, specifically from the Basque Country, where pintxos are a common form of tapas. The tortilla española itself is a staple throughout Spain and has been enjoyed for centuries as a versatile and fulfilling dish.
