Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄3 lb ham steak, diced (about 1 cup)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1⁄2 small red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 serrano chili peppers or 1 large jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- salt and pepper
- 1 small ripe vine tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or 2 tablespoons parsley

- 1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot

Directions
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees . In a large, ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook until browned, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the butter to the skillet and cook until foaming. Add the onion, bell pepper, chiles and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato and cilantro. Scatter the ham and corn chips in the pan.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the hot sauce; season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the ham mixture. Scatter the cheese on top. Cook until the eggs are just set, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the frittata to the oven and bake until puffed, 12 to 15 minutes.
