EASY QUICHE 
This is such a beautiful dish with the browned cheese on top and the smell of the salsa just feels so Mexican. A great addition to your family's Mexican nights!

1 pkg. pie shells, thawed (two 9-inch shells)
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 lb. any type of meat (ground beef, chicken, shrimps, scallops...)
1 stalk celery, diced
1 cup frozen vegetables, cooked
1 small jar salsa (any type of heat depending on your taste)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Take out the pie shell package and thaw according to package instructions.

Crack the eggs in a mixing bowl. Pour the milk in. Mix well. Set aside for later use.

Fry the meat in a pan. Season it however you like. But I recommend that you do not need to due to the fact you will be using the salsa later. If you choose to use seafood, I find that seafood is naturally salty enough you don't need to add much salt to it just depends on your personal taste.

When the meat is cooked, stir in the vegetables. Continue to fry until the celery is fragrant. About 4 more minutes.

Scoop out the salsa and pour it directly into the pan. Don't use the entire jar and leave a little bit left for dipping. Mix well with the other ingredients in the pan.

Pour the meat mixture into the two pie plates.

Pour the egg mixture over the meat mixture. Careful not to overflow!

Sprinkle cheese liberally on top of both pies.

Bake in a 350°F for approximately 40 minutes until eggs are set and the top is a nice golden brown color.

Note: Another tip is to use the CHUNKY type of salsa. It already has diced tomatoes, onions and peppers in them and you do not need to add in extra vegetables. It saves you a lot of time and you just need to pour it into the pan.
