- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 bell pepper ribs and seeds removed, diced

- 4 scallions chopped

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, cumin, chili powder, salt and black pepper. Whisk until eggs are scrambled and the spices are incorporated, then stir in crumbled cotija cheese.
- In a large cast iron pan or other oven safe pan, heat one tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add chopped scallions, cherry tomatoes and black beans and cook one more minute. Pour the egg batter into the pan. Give everything a good mix so everything is evenly distributed throughout the frittata. Allow frittata to cook 1-2 minutes on the stove, just until the edges start to set.
- Place frittata in preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, just until the egg has set. Allow frittata to cool 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy.
