Recipe: Fajita-Style Frittata

FAJITA-STYLE FRITTATA

1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced green 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 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 medium tomato, sliced
2 tablespoons shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
FOR SERVING (OPTIONAL):
Flour tortillas
Salsa
Reduced-fat sour cream

In 10-inch omelet pan or skillet with ovenproof handle (see note below) over medium heat, heat butter until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Add pepper, onion, chili powder and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally, until 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.

Note: To make handle ovenproof, wrap completely with aluminum foil.
