Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and smoked paprika until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
If using chorizo, add it to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the black beans and diced jalapeño (if using) to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and chorizo in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and pepper jack cheese over the top.
Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Slice the frittata into wedges and serve with sliced avocado, sour cream, and salsa as desired.
