Frittata...with a Kick! Ye-haw

This paleo creation was made out of desperation!!!!  Desperation is never pretty.

Tomorrow, I have a morning work meeting.  Tomorrow, most everyone will either bring donuts or bagels.   That is a Fail.com in my book.  I needed something I could make the night before, that would keep and I could enjoy the next day during my morning meeting.  I searched the interwebs and found an awesome recipe for a frittata.   I knew it would be a winner because the recipe calls for Chili Powder.   Ive being doing Paleo (mostly) for over a year and if there is anything that I have learned, its that any recipe that calls for Chili Powder, tends to be a winner.

The recipe is flexible...if you wanna use beef, then use beef.  If you wanna use bison, then use bison.  If you wanna use ham (I did), use ham.  Use any meat you want...but keep it paleo.  Same goes with the veggies.   Experiment a little, as long as you are using Chili Powder, you can't go wrong.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 small onion (diced)
1 large jalapeño (diced) if you really want a kick use Serrano Chilies
2-3 cloves of garlic (diced)
1 cup of sweet potato (peels and grated)
1 pound of protein (ground beef, diced ham, ground bison...whatever)
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of cumin
1/2 of red or green salsa (read label to ensure Paleo-ness)
12 eggs

Directions
Preheat oven 350 degrees.  In a large skillet under medium heat add coconut oil and saute onions and jalapenos until onions are translucent.  Next, add your meat.  If using ground beef or bison, cook until meat starts to turn brown and then add sweet potato and garlic.  Continue to cook until sweet potato is soft and meat is completely brown.   Add chili powder, salsa and cumin to skillet and mix throughly.  Cook until heated through.  

In either an 11x7 baking pan or 2 pie pans, add meat mixture to bottom of pan, spread evenly.  In a large bowl, beat 12 eggs and pour over meat mixture.  Cover tightly with foil and cook for approximately 35 min.  Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 or until the middle is firm.
