Fajita
Frittata
- 1 tablespoon butter or
cooking oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup chopped tomato
4 large eggs
1/4 cup water
1 medium tomato, sliced
2 tablespoons shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Flour tortillas, optional

- In 10-inch omelet pan
or skillet with ovenproof handle* over medium heat, heat butter
until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Add pepper,

pepper is soft and onion is translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add chopped tomato. Continue cooking 1 additional minute. Remove
from heat. Set aside.
- In medium bowl, beat together
eggs and water until blended. Pour over vegetables. Cook over
medium heat until eggs are almost set, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Top with tomato slices.
Sprinkle with cheese.
- Broil about 6 inches from
heat until cheese is melted and eggs are completely set, about
1 to 2 minutes.
- Cut into wedges. Serve
with tortillas and top with salsa and/or sour cream, if desired.
Makes 2 to 4 servings.
*To make handle ovenproof,
wrap completely with aluminum foil.
