They make one beautiful family and create some of the most mouth watering recipes out there! You have got to check out some of my favorite of theres like these Parmesan Sausage Bread Bowls,  this Boston Creme Cake  and these Instant Pot Pulled Pork Tacos.  I have to say though, when I saw this Frittata Ranchera recipe I knew this was the one!

So you may here “frittata” and think oh that sounds fancy but let me tell you- it is SO easy to make!! This Frittata Ranchera with Black Bean Salad packs incredible flavor! You start by sautéing onion, jalapeño and tomatoes in a little olive oil and salt. I mean that right there as a base- you know the meal is going to be GREAT! Once the veggies are fragrant and softened you simply pour in the eggs that are whisked with parsley, salt and pepper. You then go ahead and dollop in some garlic & herb cheese {the guys used goat cheese, I used just Boursin garlic & herb in its place} Thats it- you don’t touch it, you don’t move the eggs around- nothing. Once the eggs are set you pop it under the broiler to brown the top and done!

Dan and Scott served this frittata with black beans. I  loved the sound of that and actually had a perfectly ripe avocado {I know- so lucky right? } on hand so I  decided to make a simple black bean salad to go along with this incredible dish. The salad is simply a can of beans, some diced tomato, avocado, red onion and a little lime juice and olive oil. Season simply with salt and pepper and thats it. Its a great bright side.

  7. Thank you for honoring us by doing such a wonderful job with your replication of this recipe! Looking at your frittata brings back great memories of the morning that I put it together. We were at our summer cottage, the kids were around and I wasn’t entirely sure of what I was doing with this one but when they all dug into it then I knew that I had done something right! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Once again, fantastic job as always. xo
