Southwest Steak Frittata

Frittatas are a great way to use up leftovers. They are also a wonderful way to sneak excess garden veggies into your kids at breakfast. And for some reason people are always impressed with frittatas. When I serve them, my friends and family always act like I went to a lot of trouble and I see no reason to disabuse them of that notion.
