Chorizo Fritata

Our Fierce Mama has yet another breakfast treat!   They say that breakfast is the heart of the family  - and with that gorgeous family of current Mom & Dad CrossFitters as well as the young'uns so desperate for their own CrossFit career to begin - it's no wonder she has so many delectable delights!  Goooo Melissa!!

Ingredients:


1 lb Chorizo sausage
1 can diced green chilies
20 large black olives sliced
12 eggs
1 small yellow onion diced
1 red bell pepper diced
2 Chipotle peppers chopped
Fresh cilantro chopped
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin

Directions:


Melissa used her favorite cast iron skillet for this recipe.  (Cast iron skillets are SOOO COOL! I aspire to have one one day!)

1. Preheat oven to 400 Fahrenheit
2. In skillet (Cast iron or oven safe) over medium heat, cook chorizo (be sure to remove casing) until crumbly.  Remove from heat.
3. To skillet: add onions, bell peppers, chipotle and saute in sausage drippings.
4. Cook thoroughly for about 8 minutes
5. Add sausage, can of chilies and black olives back to the pan.  Mix well over medium-low heat. 
6. While the above is cooking, in a separate bowl whisk eggs.  Season with Orgeno, Cumin, chopped cilantro, salt and pepper.
7. Read this step before doing! Pour egg mixture into DO NOT MIX! Now cook for another 10 minutes.
8. Place entire skillet into oven for another 6-10 minutes until fritata is lightly brown on top and egg is well set.
9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
10. Carefully cut into 8 slices.
