I thought it sounded boring, so I doubled the amount of green chili and also added:<br/>1/2 red bell pepper, diced<br/>1/2 sweet onion, diced<br/>1/2 can black beans, drained<br/>1/2 can roasted corn, drained<br/>Taco seasoning<br/>Salt-free Mexican seasoning blend<br/>Cumin<br/>Minced garlic<br/><br/>I used only 12 eggs (that was all I had), and added a splash of skim milk to them, instead of the water. My bake time increased by a bit--it was in the oven for a little over an hour.<br/><br/>The result was pretty tasty!
