About Filipino torta

Filipino Torta is a versatile dish rooted in Philippine cuisine, showcasing the country’s love for hearty, flavorful meals. Traditionally, torta refers to a savory omelette made with beaten eggs, ground meat (commonly pork or beef), diced potatoes, onions, and sometimes carrots or bell peppers. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic, this pan-fried dish is often paired with rice and a side of fresh tomato or vinegar dip. While torta is rich in protein due to the eggs and meat, its healthiness depends on preparation. Using lean meats and cooking with minimal oil can reduce its calorie content, making it a more balanced option. Alternatively, vegetables can be featured as the main filling for a nutrient-dense variation. However, deep frying or excessive fat content may increase its cholesterol and saturated fat levels—something to enjoy in moderation for those mindful of heart health.
