Prep: 20 Minutes
Cook: About 1 1/4 hours, plus time for skillet to cool and for dough to chill
Makes: 6 to 8 Servings
1. Heat Ninja 10-Inch Frying Pan or other ovenproof 10-inch skillet on medium-high for 1 minute. Add butter and oil. After butter melts, add peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add salt to taste, transfer to a plate or bowl, and set aside. Rinse and wipe out skillet and set aside.
2. When skillet has cooled to room temperature, roll dough out to a 15-inch circle (if using 2 rounds of dough, arrange one on top of the other before rolling out). Fit dough into skillet. Trim to a 1-inch overhang, then fold overhang under and shape a decorative rim. Use a fork to pierce the bottom of the pastry all over. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
4. Place skillet on a rimmed baking sheet and line pie shell with foil. Add pie weights and bake until pastry is set and pale gold along the rim, 20 to 25 minutes.
5. In a large bowl, combine whipping cream and eggs. Stir in cheeses, salt, and pepper-onion mixture.
6. Remove foil and pie weights from the shell. Pour in egg mixture and bake until top is golden and puffy and center is set, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving with cotija, avocado, and cilantro.
