Mexican Quiche
Ingredients:
– 1 pre-made pie crust
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small red bell pepper, diced
– 1 small red onion, finely chopped
– 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
– 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn kernels
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Sliced avocado (for serving)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a pie dish and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in the cooked chicken, black beans, and corn kernels. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
5. Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the egg mixture over the filling in the pie crust.
7. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
9. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with sliced avocado on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
