MIGAS RECIPE

Crispy corn tortilla chips with eggs and tomato, onion, & peppers. One of the Best Mexican Breakfast!

Provided by Mely Martínez

Categories     breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tbsp. vegetable oil
4 corn tortillas
1/3 cup white onion, chopped
1 serrano pepper, diced (or 1/2 jalapeño pepper)
1 cup tomato, chopped (About 2 large Plum tomatoes)
4 large eggs
salt to season
Black Beans, either just cooked or refried.
Queso Fresco
Avocado Slices (Optional)
green onions sliced (Optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the corn tortillas into small squares, about 1½ in. wide. You can use a knife or a pair of kitchen scissors to cut them.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Once it is hot, place the tortilla pieces in the oil and fry them until they are golden brown. Make sure to use a frying pan that is large enough, in order to not overcrowd the pan. Stir and turn the tortilla pieces as needed until they acquire a golden-brown color. This step will take about 6 minutes.
  • Return the frying pan to the stove and place it over medium heat. Add the chopped white onion and lightly fry it for a few seconds, then stir in the chopped serrano pepper. Keep cooking for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomato and cook for about 3 more minutes, then add the eggs. Let the eggs start to cook without stirring them yet.
  • Once the egg whites start to look cooked around the edges, gently stir the eggs. Once you see the egg yolks start to cook, stir in the tortilla chips, season with salt, and gently mix them together with the eggs. When the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the frying pan from the heat. The tortillas should still be crispy by the time you serve your migas. Do not wait until the eggs are cooked to add the tortilla chips. Remember that the eggs will keep cooking even after you remove the frying pan from the heat.
