SOME THINGS TO KNOW:
- Jalapeño peppers add a bit of heat but are considered one of the milder hot peppers. By removing the seeds and the ribs from the pepper, you will reduce the amount of heat.
- Chorizo comes soft and uncooked or dried and cured which is ready to eat. You want the cured version for this recipe. If you are only able to find the raw version, make sure that you cook it thoroughly before adding it to this recipe.
- If you cannot find Cojita cheese, some good substitutes are Ricotta Salata, Queso Fresco and Feta.
- This frittata can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can freeze this for up to 3 months. Cut the frittata into serving size squares and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they are frozen, place them into an airtight freezer container.
- To reheat, place the defrosted frittata squares into a 350 degree pre-heated oven on a baking sheet. Cover them with foil. Bake 10-15 minutes until heated through.
- You will need a 10″ x 15″ rimmed baking sheet for this recipe.
