This hearty frittata travels south of the border (without leaving the stove). Cool salad and spicy store-bought salsa make it a meal.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 large eggs
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 bell peppers (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup shredded white cheddar (4 ounces)
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 head Boston lettuce (about 10 ounces), torn into pieces
1/2 cup store-bought salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add bell peppers and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add eggs, and cook, quickly stirring with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs thicken, about 1 minute. Sprinkle cheese evenly over egg mixture. Cover skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook frittata for 15 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl; season dressing with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, and toss to combine.
  • Slide frittata onto a work surface; cut into wedges. Top frittata with salsa, and serve with salad.

This was a great recipe! I used whole wheat tortillas and it was still very good.

I used old tortillas as suggested in the recipe and they were perfect! I also used 1% milk instead of whole milk and it was so creamy.

This recipe was so easy to follow and quick to make as well. I used two 10-inch cast iron skillets. One to cook the whole egg mixture in and then the other to heat up the tortillas in to make them a little crispy.

Made this tonight and it was a hit!!! Instead of whole tortillas, I sliced 10 corn tortillas into quarters and tossed with the yummy seasonings listed. This made it super easy to mix and cook. Topped with salsa - yum! Served with sour cream and guaca
