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"!!

These migas are a great way to start the day. They're packed with protein and healthy fats, and they keep me feeling full and satisfied until lunchtime.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can use any kind of tortillas you like, and you can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a little bit of cheese and sour cream to mine.

These migas are the perfect hangover cure. They're hearty and filling, and the salsa helps to soothe my stomach. I always feel better after eating a plate of migas.

I made this for breakfast this morning and it was a hit! My husband and kids loved it. The migas were flavorful and filling, and the salsa was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.

This was a great way to use up leftover tortillas. I had some old corn tortillas that were starting to get stale, and this recipe gave them a new life. The migas were delicious and satisfying.

So easy and delicious! I'm not usually a fan of migas, but this recipe changed my mind. The tortilla strips were crispy and flavorful, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I also loved the addition of the avocado and salsa.

I've made migas a few times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of the chipotle peppers gives it a wonderful smoky flavor. I also love the use of fresh herbs. It really takes the dish to the next level.
