I love a quick and easy frittata recipe, and this gluten free Mexican frittata is the perfect midweek meal.
It’s the perfect amount of spiciness and is topped with a tangy tomato and avocado salsa. It’s also really cheap to throw together and cooks in the oven in around half-an-hour.
So what goes into my gluten free Mexican frittata?
Well, it’s a wonderful mix of peppers, sweetcorn, onion, tomatoes, Mexican cheddar, jalapeños and black beans.
Coupled with the eggs it’s a good boost of protein and a great way to get some of your five-a-day.
I would serve this up with a salad dressed with lime juice, or maybe some spicy sweet potato wedges too.
An easy gluten free dinner
You can also eat this gluten free Mexican frittata cold, so you could make an extra one and portion it up for lunches.
I love meals like this which are easy to eat cold too, it makes them great for an easy meal prep.
You could also try my gluten free sweet potato, feta and roasted pepper frittata next if you need some more easy gluten free meals to try!
A quick and easy meal idea
I love creating new combinations for gluten free frittatas, so if there are any you have tried and loved, then please let me know about them!
Perhaps I will work my way through the cuisines – I wonder what a curry-inspired frittata would be like?
Or maybe a pizza-style one!? Now we’re talking!
If you wanted to make this for a lunchbox you could also turn it into egg muffins like my gluten free smoked salmon and chive egg muffins recipe.
Perhaps I will make a larger version of these next as I do think salmon, egg and chives is the perfect combination.
But for now I am happy with my gluten free Mexican frittata – I love the little spicy kicks you get from the jalapeños and the Mexican Cheddar!
