Frittatas are a delicious breakfast option that's easy to make and customize, but aren't always large enough to feed a crowd. Enter this oversized frittata. It is baked in a sheet pan so everyone will get a slice of this spicy Mexican frittata that's filled with chorizo, black beans, peppers, and poblano chiles.
Tips for Cooking with Chile Peppers
Chile peppers contain oils that can irritate your skin and eyes. Wear disposable food-grade gloves (latex or nitrile) while handling them. Don't touch your face, eyes, mouth, or nose to prevent burns. Contrary to popular belief, the hottest parts of a chile pepper are not the seeds but the pith (the white membrane on which the seeds sit) and the inner ribs. Remove those in addition to the seeds if you want the dish to be less spicy.
