Best 6 Migas A La Mexicana Recipes

MEXICAN MIGAS

Steps:

• Grease a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook until chorizo begins to get crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Add torn tortillas and cook until crispy and golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic; cook until vegetables start to get tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Pour in eggs and hot sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are close to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, and Cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until eggs are scrambled to your desired doneness. Portion migas into serving bowls and top each with a dollop of sour cream.

MIGAS A LA MEXICANA

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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"!!

Steps:

• Working against the grain, slice the beef into thin strips about 1/2 inch thick and 1 inch long.
• In a molcajete or mortar and pestle, crush the cumin, peppercorns, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt to form a coarse paste. (Alternatively, make the paste by finely mincing the garlic into a paste and mixing in ground spices until well incorporated. Reduce the spice amount in the recipe to half if using ground.)
• Rub the paste all over the beef using your hands. Cook right away, or transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to cook, up to overnight.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering. Add the onion and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and cook until lightly browned and fully cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Add the tomatoes, chiles and bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened, the tomatoes have released their juices and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and season with salt, about 1 teaspoon.
• Serve in shallow bowls with a side of refried beans and piping hot tortillas.

MIGAS EGGS A LA MIKE MARKS

Steps:

• Cut the 2 corn tortillas into 1-inch pieces (about 1 cup). Place the oil in a Dutch oven and fry the tortilla pieces over medium-to-high heat for about 3 minutes, until the tortillas change color and begin to get crisp. Add the chopped onion, the sliced mushrooms and the jalapeno pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, then lower the heat to medium.
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs and add to them the salt, pepper and cumin powder. Pour into the Dutch oven and stir until the egg mixture is setting on the bottom and almost ready to set on top but is still quite wet. Remove from the heat. (Remember that it will continue cooking in its own residual heat.) Sprinkle the cheese over the surface of the eggs, arrange wedges of tomato on top and cover with the lid. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes, then sprinkle with the cilantro and spoon into warm tortillas. To eat, wrap the tortillas around the filling.
