Recipe: Chorizo frittata

This is an easy, tasty recipe that makes good use of leftover frozen vegetables. You can have it for breakfast or serve it with a big salad for lunch or dinner. Enjoy!

I used Mexican-style (uncooked) chorizo. You can use Spanish-style (dried) chorizo, which is already cooked, in which case you can place it straight in the roasting dish without cooking it.

This recipe is gluten-free and low-carb.
