Mexican Frittata

Wednesday, June 05, 2013

From our skinny table to yours...

So we made this DELICIOUS and nutritious brunch this past Sunday and have been enjoying it every day since.  Today we are sharing our Mexican Frittata!  It's probably no surprise to you that we love Mexican food as we tend to make many Mexi-dinners.  So we thought why not start off our day with these delicious flavors as well :)


This frittata couldn't be any healthier as it is made with veggies GALORE and only egg whites.  We packed this egg white dish with red, yellow and green pepper just to make it look extra pretty!  We also added in zucchini, red onion, spinach, roasted corn, cilantro, and the Mexican flavors from both cumin and chili powder.  We topped our egg dish with reduced fat Mexican cheese...YUM!


There is a little pre-oven shot for you!  The beauty in this dish is that it is so versatile.  We cooked this up for Sunday brunch and have been enjoying this as a grab-n-go style breakfast ever since.  This could easily be turned into a hearty supper as well with the addition of some sort of protein.  Bet a little lean filet mignon would taste great in here ;)




We cut this gorgeous frittata up into 8 slices which made for a nice big slice of 'pie' for everyone!  Trust us when we say this is an amazing way to start the day!  Hope you enjoy this delicious and nutritious Mexican dish!
