Mexican Frittata [Recipe]

March 16, 2018

Ever try to make a meal that’s supposed to be easy but it just didn’t turn out? That what happened to me and frittatas. They always came out dry without much flavor (but I added cheese?!). So I took some time off from trying.

About six months ago, I revisited frittatas and found this post on The Kitchn very helpful. After reading it, I realized I wasn’t seasoning the veggies enough. This is it! I now season whatever I’m adding to it very well using garlic, fresh herbs, salt and dried herbs/spices. I don’t use heavy cream because it’s not something I have on hand.

My first one included a mushroom, tomato and bacon combo and it was a success. But it was this Mexican Frittata that really got me going. Because Mexican food is my favorite food to cook and eat.

I like to make these on a Saturday or Sunday and eat the leftovers for a snack or another meal. It also makes an easy weeknight dinner meal.

If you make frittatas, what’s your favorite combination?
