Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  3. Once the skillet is heated, add in the corn tortilla strips, and fry until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.
  5. Turn the heat down to medium, and pour in the eggs.
  6. Use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs, folding them into the tortilla strips, until they reach a soft, scrambled texture.
  7. Remove from heat and top with cilantro, cotija cheese, pico de gallo, and avocado slices.
  8. Serve with refried beans if desired.

Notes

  • Use dry, day-old tortillas for the crispiest results.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs! The eggs will continue to cook once removed from the heat, so remove them from the heat a bit before they are fully cooked for the fluffiest eggs.
  • Use a nonstick skillet for the best results. 
  • Storage: Store migas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Use dry, day-old tortillas for the crispiest results.
  • We do not recommend making migas with just egg whites, as the yolks provide a lot of the flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs! The eggs will continue to cook once removed from the heat, so remove them from the heat a bit before they are fully cooked for the fluffiest eggs.
  • Use a nonstick skillet for the best results. 
  • Wrap in a burrito to make a migas breakfast burrito.
  • Add to a taco shell to make migas tacos.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.
