/tor-TIL-ya/
FIL: Isang uri ng manipis at bilog na tinapay na gawa sa mais o harina. Sa ibang konteksto, ito ay tumutukoy sa isang uri ng luto sa itlog na may halong gulay o karne, tulad ng 'tortang talong'.
EN: tortilla; omelette
In the Philippines, 'tortilya' can be two things. 1) The flat, round bread for your tacos and burritos. 2) More commonly, it's related to 'torta', our version of an omelette, like the glorious 'tortang talong'. So it's either Mexican night or a classic Pinoy breakfast.
From Spanish 'tortilla', which can mean both a thin flatbread (in Mexico) and an omelette (in Spain).
The meaning depends on context. If talking about Mexican food, it's the flatbread. If talking about Filipino food, it's often used interchangeably with or as a variant of 'torta' (omelette).
