Wanna make the perfect omelet? Try a frittata! Even though it sounds fancy it is beyond simple. If you can crack some eggs and slice some veggies then you can make this simple dish and really impress your familia or guests.

This recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. And if you are like me and have zucchinis growing out your ears then you really need to try this. The flavors remind me of my grandma’s calabacitas con elote. I have a feeling my grandma would really approve of this dish.

This recipe from start to finish takes about 20 minutes. Most of the time involved is slicing the vegetables. Now, who doesn’t like that? Super quick, super delicioso.

The nice thing about this recipe is that it is customizable. Feel free to eliminate the chorizo and serrano if you aren’t fond of spice.
