MIGAS- MY WAY

Migas- my way image

I make these whenever I have a bunch of tortilla chips crumbled at the bottom of the bag, or when I have a ton of corn tortillas that need to get used. Or, when I feel like making a hearty, stay-with-you-all-morning breakfast. This is saved for a Saturday or Sunday morning so I can pick at what's left all day long!!! Serve them...

Categories     Eggs

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2-3 Tbsp olive oil
4+ c tortilla chips, crumbled or
6-12 corn tortillas, cut, or torn into bite sized pieces (3 per person)
1/2 large white onion, large dice
1 large jalapeno, fresh, minced
1/2-1 tsp sea salt
2-4 large eggs, beaten
1/4-1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. If using corn tortillas, cut into 1x2" squares, or tear into bite sized pieces. If using chips, crumble any that are too big to be bite sized. Cut onion to large dice, set aside. Cut jalapeno to smaller dice (after you easily remove seeds and membrane with a spoon), for less heat; set aside. (You can also use a serrano pepper, minced, if you prefer. They are hotter, so caution.)
  • 2. Heat oil in a 10", or 12" nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat until oil just starts to shimmer. Add corn tortillas, or chips, and fry tortillas until crisp, 5-10 minutes or so, stirring frequently. (Fry chips until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.) Salt to taste; more for tortillas, less for chips.
  • 3. Reduce heat to medium, add onion and hot pepper of choice; continue stirring. When onions become translucent, add eggs, and cheese, if using. Allow eggs to set, flipping so all egg is cooked, but not dry. I use 3 tortillas/1 egg/1 person; 1 cup chips/1 egg/1 person. We like lots of onion and hot pepper, so use what suits you. If you want more eggs holding everything together, do that. They're your migas.
  • 4. Serve with beans, boiled or refried, a few slices of avocado, fresh fruit, a hot cup of coffe, and enjoy! Let me know what you think. But DON'T throw your crumbled chips away again. I've even used 2 or 3 different kinds of chips at the same time!!

I'm allergic to corn. Can I substitute another ingredient?

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like it would be too dry.

These migas are a great way to use up leftover tortillas. They're also a delicious and affordable meal.

I made these migas for breakfast this morning and they were the perfect start to my day. They were flavorful, filling, and easy to make.

These migas were so easy to make and they were a hit with my family. Even my picky kids loved them!

I've made migas many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of the green chiles and corn really takes it to the next level.

These migas were absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The flavors were amazing and the texture was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
