How to Make Spicy Mexican Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine jalapenos and garlic. Process until finely chopped.
  3. Add chopped tomatoes, coriander, and chili powder to the food processor. Process until the tomato mixture is almost smooth.
  4. Spray a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat.
  5. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Stir in the tomato mixture and corn. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, whole eggs, skim milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable mixture in the skillet.
  9. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  12. Let stand for 3-4 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
