Frittata Ranchera with Black Bean Salad

February 22, 2018 by Angela LeMoine 36 Comments

I just love a meal that can work for any time of day and this Frittata Ranchera with Black Bean Salad hits it on the head! Ok, maybe you wouldn’t want a bean salad for breakfast but that Frittata is definitely great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner! It really takes little effort, little time and a handful of ingredients to throw together this incredibly delicious Frittata Ranchera with Black Bean Salad.

Hello Friday!!!  You guys it is that special time of year where I  get to reveal something special I’ve been working on with some of my favorite fellow food bloggers. Its our Winter Edition Freaky Friday Recipe Swap! I have the great honor of  sharing a recipe from my assigned blog- Platter Talk! You’ve all heard me say it before, you absolutely eat with your eyes first and I guarantee if you put this on the table, everyone is going to swoon! 

Frittatas are so great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner! It really takes little effort, little time and a handful of ingredients to throw together this incredibly delicious Frittata Ranchera with Black Bean Salad.

Let me talk a moment about the incredibly fabulous guys over at Platter Talk! Dan & Scott are a couple of dads with a whole bunch of hungry sons. 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 much flavor and so easy to throw together- my kind of meal!

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.

    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
