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 RECIPE

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.

MIGAS (MEXICAN BREAKFAST EGG SKILLET) RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the frying oil in a cast-iron skillet or other heavy-bottomed pans to medium heat. Keep a close eye on the heat so as to not burn the tortillas when you begin frying them!
• Fry each tortilla in the oil until it is lightly brown and very crispy. Make sure to flip the tortillas so that both sides are browned.
• Once all of the tortillas are fried stack them on top of each other and cut them into little squares. You can do that by cutting them into strips and then cutting the strips into squares.
• Chop the red pepper and the onion into a fine dice. If you want a spicier breakfast, add jalapeños as well. Add the peppers and the onions to the frying pan along with the butter.
• Saute the vegetables until they are soft. Add the beaten eggs and the chopped tortillas to the pan. Carefully fold the eggs and tortillas into the vegetables. Be careful not to break up the eggs too much. Continue to cook until eggs are completely cooked through.
• Top with the Mexican cheese and the salsa verde. Allow the cheese to melt and serve immediately out of the skillet.

BREAKFAST MIGAS

Steps:

• Place skillet on the stove over medium heat and add enough oil to reach 1 inch. Once oil is hot, add cut tortilla pieces without overcrowding the skillet. Fry tortilla pieces in the hot oil, until they crisp up and achieve a golden color, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove tortilla chips with a slotted spoon and set on a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste and continue working in batches until all tortilla pieces are fried and done. Reserve frying oil.
• Set a flat griddle or comal over medium-low heat and toast guajillo chiles until fragrant, about 20 seconds per side.
• Combine toasted chiles, tomatoes, and garlic in a saucepan and cover with hot water. Simmer over medium-low heat until guajillos are softened and tomatoes are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
• Combine chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, cumin, pepper, and reserved liquid in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Strain sauce.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saucepan set over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, pour in sauce, and simmer until salsa thickens, 12 to 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning if desired.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of reserved frying oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add all tortilla chips once oil is hot and reheat for 1 minute. Pour in eggs and cook and stir until eggs are beginning to set. Add salsa and gently fold into the egg mixture until everything is covered in salsa and the eggs are cooked, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and serve immediately topped with green onions, cilantro, avocado, and cheese.

MIGAS BREAKFAST TACOS

Steps:

• Beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Put 3 tortillas in it and turn them until warm and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. Stack on foil and wrap. Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas, adding them to the same stack and wrapping to keep warm and soft.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the oil and swirl to coat, then add the chips. Cook, stirring, until sizzling and browned in spots, about 30 seconds. Add the onion, poblano and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the edges of the onion are just translucent but the vegetables are still crisp, about 2 minutes.
• Drizzle the egg over the chips and vegetables. Let stand for 15 seconds until just starting to set, then stir rapidly to scramble until just set but still wet, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle the cilantro on top.
• Remove from the heat and immediately divide among the warmed tortillas. Sprinkle with the cheese and top with the avocado and salsa. Serve immediately or wrap each taco in foil to eat out of hand.
