Enchilada Frittata

I am bringing you an Enchilada Frittata today. I got the inspiration from Eggs.ca. They have 30 gorgeous-looking frittatas on their site. In particular, this pretty Frittata San Remo caught my eye. Then I went even further and started thinking of an enchilada, a seafood enchilada. I wanted some of the ingredients of an enchilada with lots of wonderful eggs. Eggs are part of a well-balanced diet. They provide 6 grams of high-quality protein and 14 important nutrients like vitamins A, D, and E, iron, zinc, and choline. If you would like to make your own Homemade Enchilada Sauce to keep costs down try ours, it is awesome and you probably have all the ingredients already. 

This Enchilada Frittata packs a punch of flavor but I didn’t want this to be spicy so that it would over power the eggs and shrimp. Only a light dusting of ancho chili pepper was needed on the shrimp to add loads of taste. My family raved about this frittata and it was devoured in very little time. Using fresh eggs and fresh quality ingredients will always give you a superior meal.

There are lots of healthy delicious ingredients in this frittata, the light fluffy eggs, the roasted red peppers, creamy avocado, flavorful shrimp and delicious light sour cream and enchilada sauce.

We are fortunate in Canada to have year round high-quality protein available to us. Egg Farmer’s of Canada are partnering with Heart for Africa, where they are building a sustainable egg farm in Swaziland. This is a very important project for Egg Farmer’s of Canada because they recognize the global fight against food insecurity and malnutrition. The sustainable farming initiative is called Project Canaan and will impact thousands of people living in the region supplying them with high quality protein.  This is essential for human growth and development. The project will help feed orphaned children and teach Swazi locals world-class farming practices commonly used throughout Canada.

By working together under the system of supply management, the more than 1,000 family egg farms in Canada can support causes like this that help communities at home and abroad.
