Mmmm
Pretty much how I do it, but I put the chorizo INTO the omelette.
And NEVER tried the lime juice. Is that why, whilst I like my tortillas, they never taste like Spain?

Also
frying pan under the grill to finish it off instead of all that messy flippy business.

I do the grill thing

that is how the Spanish would do it
but really, it's not particularly hard and it's so much less hassle to turn it.

And I prefer my omlettes turned-out nicely on a plate
instead of an oily mess on the floor.

I'm not claiming this to be authentically Spanish
I use lime juice as there's a strong olive oil flavour throughout and the acidity of the citrus cuts through that and gives a bit of balance.

I've been watching too much Masterchef.
