Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced jalapeño, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the black beans, ground cumin, and chili powder, mixing well to evenly coat the vegetables and beans with the spices. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable mixture in the skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
