Southwestern Chipotle Quiche

This is an amazing quiche. We're always a bit dubious trying a new quiche recipe - there seem to be a lot of mediocre ones out there. Fear not - this one ranks among the best we've had! Even our meat-loving husbands enjoyed this vegetarian quiche. It's packed with flavor, and since it's filled with beans and corn you can eat it without feeling too guilty.
