MIGAS WITH TORTILLAS AND BEANS



Migas With Tortillas and Beans image

This recipe, brought to The Times in 2004 by Karen Olsson as part of a collection of regional recipes published in The New York Times Magazine, comes from Juan in a Million, in East Austin. To best appreciate this Tex-Mex favorite, she writes, "the procedure is as follows: Smear the tortilla with a spoonful of the beans, pile on the migas, followed by a dollop of salsa, and tell your cardiologist to kiss your widening behind." Follow her advice, or don't. But do garnish it with a bright salsa fresca or pico de gallo, and enjoy.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 small corn tortillas
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt
1 small red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 poblano pepper or 1 additional bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15 ounce) can of black beans, drained
3 tablespoons water
Squeeze of lime juice or splash of sherry vinegar
8 eggs
3 tablespoons cream or milk of choice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 to 3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese or cheddar cheese
Chopped cilantro
Salsa and/or hot sauce of choice
More tortillas, warmed (optional)
Diced avocado (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper while you're at it. Scramble 8 eggs with 3 tablespoons cream/milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few twists of freshly ground black pepper. Set the eggs aside for later.
  • Slice 4 tortillas into short, thin strips (see photos). Transfer the strips to your prepared baking sheet, then toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil until lightly and evenly coated. Arrange them in a single layer and sprinkle with salt. Bake until crispy, flipping halfway, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pepper-and-onion mixture. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic and a dash of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are turning translucent and the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer half of the mixture to a bowl for later and return the pot to heat.
  • To the pot, add 1 teaspoon ground cumin and sauté until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Add the drained black beans and 3 tablespoons water. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until you're ready to serve.
  • Once you have your crispy tortilla strips and reserved pepper mixture ready, you can scramble the eggs. In a 10-inch non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet, warm 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat. Swirl the pan so it's evenly coated with oil. Add the peppers from your bowl to the skillet, then whisk your egg mixture one last time and pour it into the skillet.
  • Scramble the eggs by pushing the mixture around and 'round and 'round until they're about three-fourths set. Fold in the crispy tortilla strips and cheese and continue cooking until the eggs are scrambled to your liking. Remove from heat.
  • Remove the beans from heat. Use a fork to mash up about half the beans, then stir in a squeeze of lime or splash of vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide migas and black beans into individual serving bowls/plates. Top with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve with salsa, warmed tortillas (optional) and diced avocado (optional) on the side.

MIGAS WITH BLACK BEANS & TOMATOES



Migas With Black Beans & Tomatoes image

Not long ago, I had lunch with some friends in Austin at Torchey's Tacos. (If you're in Austin, Houston or Dallas, you might give these guys a try. And I might start a petition that they get a truck set up in other areas asap.) Ever since, all I can think about making for breakfast is breakfast tacos. And lunch tacos. And dinner tacos. I think I might need an intervention. Migas are a kind of taco that I've never shared before, and given my recent tacos obsession, the time has come for Migas. So, what in the world is a Migas? (Please forgive the singular-plural thing that happened there. Just work with me here.) Migas come from Spain/Portugal and are a traditional "next day" meal using leftover bread. It's popular Tex-Mex cousin/twin contain leftover corn tortillas, cut up into strips, fried up and mixed in with the eggs, tomatoes and chilies. Then wrapped in another tortilla and served alongside refried beans. When I make Migas, I use corn tortillas for the "shell"...because I just have a brain block on the concept of wrapping a flour tortilla around a delicious egg mixture that contains crunchy corn tortillas. Flour with corn...just can't do it. Corn with corn...perfection. I also leave out the hot peppers, because I know the kids would take 1 bite, drop their tongue out of their mouth panting that it was too spicy. But I'm going to include a jalapeno pepper (or hot pepper of your choice) in the recipe. Because they really should be included. Add it or don't...depending on your tongue's liking to spicy food. (For Texans -- Hatch chilies will be in stores all over south Texas soon...would be amazing cooked into you next Migas meal.) A few other ideas that could replace the black beans too: 2 cups cooked chorizo sausage, 2 cups cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (about 1/2 lb.) or crumbled bacon. Now that we've got the what and the how I like it's out of the way, let's go to the recipe...

Time 25m

Yield 8 tacos, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 -4 tablespoons oil (for frying)
4 corn tortillas
1 small onion, chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained well
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
8 eggs, whisked
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
8 corn tortillas or 8 flour tortillas
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
shredded monterey jack cheese, garnish
1 (15 ounce) can refried beans

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, heat the oil. Add the corn tortillas, one at a time, to the oil and cook them on each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn darker brown and get crispy. Remove and stack on cutting board. Run a pizza cutter through them to cut into strips of chunks. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, add the chopped onion, pepper, tomatoes and black beans. Saute together for 2-3 minutes, then add the eggs. Scrambled with the veggies and beans. Once the eggs have cooked, toss in the fried tortilla strips. Spoon the mixture onto corn (or flour) tortillas. Quickly sprinkle with cheese, so it will melt from the heat of the eggs.
  • Warm the refried beans.

Provided by Robb Walsh

Categories     Breakfast     Dinner     Egg     Tortillas     Jalapeño     Cheddar     Tomato

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups dime-sized tortilla pieces or crushed tortilla chips
1/2 cup chopped tomato
2/3 cup chopped onion
1 jalapeño chile, stemmed, seeded, and chopped

1/2 cup cheddar cheese

  • To make mouthwatering migas, begin with creating tasty and aromatic homemade corn tortillas. This elevates the dish to new heights of flavor compared to using store-bought ones.
  • If you have leftover corn tortillas, rejuvenate them by lightly frying them until crispy. This clever technique infuses them with a delightful crunch and keeps them from going to waste.
  • Elevate your migas with a variety of delectable toppings. Crumbled queso fresco brings a tangy, salty kick, while sliced avocado contributes a creamy richness. Finely chopped cilantro and red onion add pops of freshness and color.
  • To infuse migas with a smoky flavor, roast your tomatoes, poblano peppers, and garlic. Roasting intensifies their natural sweetness and imparts a delightful smoky aroma.
  • Don't limit yourself to corn tortillas. Experiment with flour tortillas or even slices of crusty bread for a unique migas experience.
  • Feel free to customize your migas with your favorite ingredients. Add some chopped bacon or crumbled chorizo for a savory boost, or include black beans or bell peppers for a vibrant twist.

Conclusion:

Migas is a versatile dish that offers endless possibilities for creativity and customization. With its combination of crispy tortillas, fluffy eggs, and an array of delicious toppings, migas is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
