I was introduced to this style of cooking by the name "torta", but
tortilla, torta and skillet frittata are all the same thing. It was a
household staple when my kids were growing up. I tend to use either
ground beef or Italian sausage for my meat and I like to put spinach
in it too.

What kind of salami... oh, never mind... no salami goes with
caramelized onions. In an omelet perhaps lightly sauted onion, but
not really. Actually just reading that disgusts me.

Torta means different things in different culinary traditions.

In Mexico and southern California a torta is a sandwich comprised of a
split white-bread bun, usually smeared with refritos and the usual
suspects in side.

I am well aware of that. Hopefully you also learned that the term
torta is not limited to sandwiches.

In Italy Torta is generally a cake. But you can have also a salted
torta....
