- 8 eggs
- 1 tsp (5 mL) taco seasoning or Tajin
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) kosher salt
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup (60 mL) fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
- ½ cup (125 mL) chopped green onions
- ½ cup (125 mL) canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- ½ cup (125 mL) roasted red peppers, chopped
- 1 cup (250 mL) cooked cubed potatoes or hash browns
- ½ jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- ½ cup (125 mL) shredded Tex-Mex cheese blend
- Sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, pico de gallo, crispy tortilla strips, sour cream or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1
Place the top rack of the oven about 6 inches (15 cm) from the broiler element. Preheat the oven to broil.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, taco seasoning, salt, pepper and cilantro. Set aside.
- Step 3
In a 10 inch (25 cm) oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the green onions, black beans, red peppers, potatoes and jalapeno (if using) to the skillet, stirring until heated through.
- Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the pan; stir to combine with the vegetables and beans. Use a spatula to gently distribute the vegetables evenly within the skillet and then leave the eggs undisturbed to set on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the frittata gently for about
8 minutes until the eggs are almost set on top, but still moist. Sprinkle the cheese on top. - Step 5
Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are just set. Let frittata stand for 3 minutes before serving.
- Step 6
Run a spatula around the edge of the frittata and gently shake the skillet to loosen the frittata. Slice into wedges and serve with optional toppings of your choice.
