Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 corn tortillas, sliced into 1/2-inch strips, then cut into 2-inch rectangles
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 4-ounce can green chiles, drained
1/2 cup chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and 2 tablespoons water vigorously. Set aside.

Steps:

  • Cook the tortilla strips: Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the tortilla strips and cook, stirring and tossing, until they are all golden and crispy.
  • Cook the vegetables: When the tortillas are crisp, add the bell pepper, chiles and onion to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs to the pan, season with salt and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring to scramble and combine, until most of the moisture is cooked out, then remove from the heat. Stir in the tomatoes. Serve topped with cheese.

MIGAS A LA MEXICANA



Migas a la Mexicana image

This breakfast dish is as authentic Mexican as you can get! From what I learned, this dish was developed in the northern area of Mexico and is a very popular breakfast. It is without a doubt my own favorite breakafast! There is a dish called "Migas" and there is "Migas a la Mexicana". Plain Migas will not have all the extra...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 to 8 fresh corn tortillas, torn into bitesized pieces
1/2 c cooking oil (veg. oil, canola, corn oil, etc)
1 small fresh serrano chili pepper, minced as thin and tiny as you can make it
1 large fresh ripe tomato, diced into small chunks
1/3 c diced onion (sweet onion is really good!)
4 large fresh eggs, beaten
salt and pepper to your taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a non-stick frying pan, heat oil to med-high. Tear corn tortillas into small/bite sized pieces. Place in hot oil, stir often. Dice up your serrano pepper as small as you can make it, and add the pepper and diced onion. (You may use the entire serrano pepper, but until you know how much hot pepper you can eat, I recommend you use only half of the pepper...and add more if you decide you want it the next time. Pour out most of the oil, leaving just enough to finish cooking it.
  • 2. Add the diced tomatoes and return to the heat, stirring until well blended and the tomatoes are cooked through. Add beaten eggs and scramble together until the eggs are cooked through.
  • 3. Serve hot with some seasoned refried beans on the side and fresh tortillas (corn or flour-your preference)... You can add your favorite salsa to it or leave it as-is. Salt & pepper to taste. You will be amazed how good this is! You can "cheat" a little and use store-bought tortilla chips, but the regular corn tortillas have a more authentic flavor, and store-bought chips often have too much salt. To explain the difference between 'regular Migas' and "a la Mexicana", regular Migas are prepared with fried tortilla pieces, a little bit of onion and eggs all scrambled together. "A la Mexicana" means "Mexican style", with everything thrown in...the onions, pepper, & tomatoes. "Buen Probecho, Y'all"!!

Tips:

  • Use stale tortillas: Stale tortillas are less likely to break apart when you fry them, and they will also absorb the flavors of the other ingredients better.
  • Cut the tortillas into small pieces: This will help them to fry more evenly and will also make them easier to eat.
  • Fry the tortillas in a hot skillet: This will help them to get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the tortillas will not fry evenly and will likely become soggy.
  • Season the migas to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, salsa, or sour cream.
