Do you have a favorite way to enjoy eggs? A frittata for me ranks high on my list of breakfast favorites. It’s a great way to use up leftover vegetables, it keeps well if made ahead, it feeds a large group of people and it’s very easy to make.
A pico de gallo, or “a la Mexicana”, style frittata is the way I like to prepare mine. Jalapeños, tomato and onion, “chile, tomate y cebolla” the colors of the Mexican flag. It’s full of flavor with the perfect amount of gooey cheese and hearty potatoes. There is one thing it needs, though. My favorite salsa, HERDEZ® Guacamole Salsa. A generous drizzle on top completes this mouthwatering feast. It’s colorful and festive enough to enjoy at a celebratory breakfast and brunch too.

HERDEZ® Guacamole Salsa is rich and creamy with the right amount of tangy kick. The smooth and creamy taste of real avocados with tomatillos, onions, jalapeños and cilantro. I use this salsa with all my egg recipes to give it that spicy finish. It’s great on tacos too!
