Tex Mex Frittata Recipes

CHEESY TORTILLA CHIP FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with 1/4 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir in the crushed tortilla chips and let soak 5 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Crumble in the chorizo and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the scallion whites and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread the chorizo evenly in the bottom of the skillet and pour the egg mixture on top. Top with the cheese and bake until the eggs are browned around the edges and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the lettuce, radishes, scallion greens and cilantro in a large bowl. Drizzle with the lime juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper and toss. Slide the frittata onto a cutting board; sprinkle with cilantro. Slice into wedges and serve with the salsa and the salad.

TEX-MEX FRITTATA

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler.
• In a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet or a very well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, garlic, onions, red and orange bell peppers and jalapeno to the skillet. Add the cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring gently, until the veggies begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Arrange the veggies so that the potato slices are flat and in an even layer.
• Meanwhile, in a pitcher or bowl, whisk together the eggs, salsa and a pinch of salt. Stir in the grated pepper jack.
• Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, being careful to cover the veggies and get it around the edge of the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the eggs begin to set on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler, using the middle rack, and cook until very lightly browned on top, about 5 minutes.
• Carefully slide the frittata onto a cutting board. Slice into 4 to 6 wedges. Garnish with the cherry tomatoes, avocado, cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
