While the name frittata is Italian, this version has a Mexican twist. Most dieters avoid Mexican food altogether since so many restaurant dishes contain chips, tortillas, tons of oil, and lots and lots of cheese. But, with this recipe, you can enjoy your favorite Mexican flavors without screwing up your diet.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole egg
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • ½ sliced white onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tomato, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp (1 serving) taco seasoning
