Nourish: Southwest vegetable frittata

Tracy De Leon, MDS, LD, RD, walked us through this recipe from our Nourish Series. This frittata is a great way to add protein to a vegetarian diet, but great for anyone to enjoy. Here's what you'll need:

• 1 Tbsp. canola or olive oil
• 1/2 cup diced red pepper
• 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
• 1/2 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely minced
• 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 6 large eggs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup grated reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 avocado, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup chunky salsa or pico de gallo
• 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)
