Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, black beans, jalapeño, shredded cheese, cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Evenly pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Carefully transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the frittatas are puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the frittatas to cool for about 5 minutes before gently loosening each one with a knife or small spatula.
Serve warm or let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These frittatas can be reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast or snack.
