MexiCan Veggie Frittata

Well this week has been a blast on my scopes! I have been participating in the FindTheMoneyProject with celebrity fitness expert and entrepreneur, Danny-J Johnson, where we were challenged to eat all the food in the house BEFORE going shopping. Gotta say, I rose to that challenge.

In this episode, we ate all the eggs in this awesome Fritatta!! And pulled ingredients from what we had in the cupboard.

Directions:

Heat oven to 450.
I love my cast iron skillet. It is perfect for making a frittata! Spray the bottom of the skillet with cooking spray. Place skillet over medium heat and add diced onions, carrots and celery and cook for about 4 minutes until vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally.
Combine the 8 eggs, cream, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk together.
Smash and dice 2 cloves garlic and add to pan.
Add in the tomatoes, mushrooms and artichoke quarters. Then spread the vegetables around the skillet in an even layer.
Add in the turkey taco meat and mix with vegetables.
Add in tsp of Better than Boullion.
Add in beans.
Pour egg mixture over the vegetables and sing “Fritatta”!!
Top Fritatta with celery and parsley leaves.
Sprinkle cheese on top and cook on low heat for about 1-2 minutes.

Place skillet in oven for about 5 minutes until eggs are cooked through. Sprinkle with additional cheddar cheese, if desired.

Slice the Frittata like you would a piece of pie. Top with any of the following ingredients: cilantro, chiles, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa – – the choices are endless!!
