How to Make Tex Mex Frittata
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a large (10-12 inch) nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet.
- Heat over medium heat.
- Dice 1 medium onion and add to the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 8 ounces chorizo sausage, crumbled. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
- Stir in 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
- Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs (or 16 egg whites), 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until light and frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the chorizo and tomato mixture in the skillet.
- Cook over low heat until the eggs are set around the edges and the bottom is lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Do not stir.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
