How to Make Tex Mex Morning Frittata Clean Eating

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. **Prepare the Salsa:** In a medium bowl, combine the chopped green onions, black beans, cilantro, and jalapeños.
  3. Drizzle with vinegar and olive oil; toss gently to combine. Let stand for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, salt, pepper, and chili powder (if using).
  5. Lightly coat a medium-sized oven-safe nonstick skillet with olive oil.
  6. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook for 2 minutes, until softened.
  7. Add the corn and chopped tomatoes to the skillet.
  8. Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables.
  9. Gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  10. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom of the frittata begins to set.
  11. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles when the pan is gently shaken.
  12. Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving with the salsa.
