Answers:
TOR - TEE -YUH
In Mexico the unleavened bread made of "Maseca" Corn Meal flour, native to most of the central american indian tribes. and still used as a bread staple in most countries from Mexico to Panama. (further south the same or similar bread is called an AREPA).

Also the same flat bread made of wheat flour. (used mainly as a breakfast food, and for your typical TEX-MEX fajitas and burritos)

A thicker version of these is called a "GORDITA DE HARINA or GORDITA DE MAIZ" depending on if it is wheat or corn flour.

In Spain (Europe) TORTILLA is the word used for omelette
and is also the diminutive of TORTA which is a type of round bread (sweet or savoury)..

Omelettes in Spain are usually made in a round shape...
Presumably when the Conquistadores arrived in America in the 16th. century, they at first thought the natives were eating omelettes because of the resemblance in shape...hence giving it the name tortilla in spanish.

The "o" is long and the "ll" is more of a "y" sound.

So, "tore"-"tea"-"ya" would be the correct pronounciation.

torte tea yuh "tor ti ja"

It is a spanish language term for several different dishes,

Mexican and Mesoamerican terms, an unleavened bread

Tor tea yuh The "ll" (double L) is a y sound, as in yes. Tor-tea-ya

tor-tee-yaa
