Cortado is simply espresso that is cut (cortar) with warm/hot milk. Like that macchiatto that is espresso marked with milk, the specific density and texture of the beverage is probably up to whoever is in charge. I think most places serve it with very nicely microfoamed milk, more like latte milk than cappuccino milk.

I agree with john.  You have lots of latitude as long as you "cut down" the strenght of the espresso with the milk.  I personally add two spoons full of foam, hopefully to the center, and then add the milk, pouring in the center so there is always a ring of coffee on the edge of the cup.
