A frittata is an easy and quick dish to make. They always add a special touch to the table with different colors and the delicious aroma. If you don’t know what a frittata looks like, it’s similar to a Spanish tortilla or an open face omelet. They are very versatile and it’s fun to create new flavors with a combination of various ingredients. The one I’ll show you today can be made in no time and includes two of my favorite ingredients, avocado and cotija cheese. Enjoy!
