As a bonus, it is a quiche that can work for those who are avoiding wheat. #### Easy Tex-Mex Quiche  Serves about 5 ##### Ingredients  6 (6 inch) corn tortillas 1 cup cooked or canned black beans ½ cup frozen corn, thawed ½ cup chopped onion 1 cup chopped bell peppers 1 cup shredded Jack cheese 6 eggs, beaten ½ cup milk 1 teaspoon chili powder ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro (optional)   ##### Directions  Preheat oven to 350 ℉. Grease a 9-inch pie plate. Place five tortillas along the outer edge of the prepared pie plate, overlapping and extending 1/2-inch beyond the rim; place the remaining tortilla in the center of the pie plate. Layer beans, corn, onions, peppers, and cheese over the tortillas. Whisk eggs, milk, and chili powder together in a bowl; slowly pour the egg mixture into the pie plate. Sprinkle with cilantro. Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set and puffed, about 45 minutes. Cool for a few minutes, then cut into wedges. > [Click to tweet: > For #MeatlessFriday, a simple quiche that's both meat-free and wheat-free. #catholicmom](https://ctt.ac/q5Q0b)   ![Easy tex-mex quiche](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20220318%20MPortogallo%201.jpg?width=1080&name=20220318%20MPortogallo%201.jpg)   --- Copyright 2022 Monica Portogallo Image copyright 2022 Monica Portogallo, all rights reserved. ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-easy-tex-mex-quiche%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-easy-tex-mex-quiche%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-easy-tex-mex-quiche%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Meatless%20Friday%3A%20Easy%20Tex-Mex%20Quiche) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-easy-tex-mex-quiche%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-easy-tex-mex-quiche%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Monica Portogallo](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Monica%20Portogallo.jpeg) ### [Monica Portogallo](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/monica-portogallo) Monica Portogallo is a mother and registered dietitian nutritionist who does her best not to miss the lessons God sends to her through the joys and struggles of daily life.
