Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 corn tortillas cut into strips or squares
- 1 Jalapeno pepper diced
- 1 small red bell pepper diced
- 1 small onion white or yellow, diced
- 4-5 eggs lightly scrambled
- 1 medium tomato diced
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded pepperjack or Monterrey Jack cheese
- For Serving: Spicy chili flakes extra sliced peppers, avocado, hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan and add the corn tortillas. Fry them lightly in the hot oil until they crisp up, flipping a bit, about 4-5 minutes. Remove them from the pan and set them into paper towels to drain. Sprinkle them with a bit of salt while they are hot.
- Next, add the peppers and onion to the hot pan and cook them down about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato, then pour in the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir.
- Cook the eggs, stirring here and there, about 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs just begin to set.
- Remove from heat and stir in the reserved crispy tortillas and shredded cheese.
- Top with spicy chili flakes, extra sliced peppers and avocado. And hot sauce if desired!
Notes
- Heat Factor: Mild-Medium. You can up the heat by adding extra jalapeno peppers, and using a spicy hot sauce to finish. Reduce the heat by coring the jalapenos before cooking, or using bell peppers instead.
- Make it a Bigger Meal. Migas is a great dish on its own, but as a variation, consider adding spicy Mexican chorizo for some added kick and flavor. You can even add in other crumbled sausage, ground chicken or refried beans to make it more of a meal.
- Add Some Salsa. Salsa is also a popular addition. Scoop a few spoonfuls of Salsa Roja or your favorite Salsa Verde as a finisher. You'll love the added flavor pop.
- Tortilla Chips. If you'd like to skip the steps for frying the tortillas, use crispy tortilla chips instead. They work great for quick and easy migas!
