Easy Mexican Migas Recipe
Description
The Easy Mexican Migas Recipe features fried corn tortilla strips cooked until crispy in canola oil, paired with scrambled eggs mixed with milk, salt, and cracked black pepper. The frying process creates a crunchy base, while the eggs provide a soft, fluffy texture. Cooking the eggs gently in the pan and folding in the tortilla strips allows the crispy bites to evenly combine with the creamy eggs. This dish highlights the contrast of textures and simple seasoning, making it an approachable Mexican-inspired breakfast.
The fried tortilla strips bring a toasty flavor that complements the mild, creamy eggs. The dish can be served on its own or with common toppings like salsa, cheese, or avocado to add more freshness and richness. It’s a versatile approach that balances textures and straightforward ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 corn tortillas
- 4 egg large
- 1 tablespoon milk
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste, cracked
Instructions
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium, medium-high heat. Cut the tortillas into thin strips then add to the hot oil and fry until crispy, about 5 minutes.
- While the tortilla strips fry, whisk together the eggs and milk in a medium-sized bowl until bubbly, about 2 minutes. When the tortilla strips are done, reduce heat to low, push the strips to one side of the pan, then add the egg to the bare part of the pan and gently scrape with a spatula, scrambling the eggs until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Fold the tortilla strips into the eggs as they cook, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve with your favorite toppings as desired.
