Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup diced red onion
  • 2 pieces roma tomatoes cored and diced
  • 1 piece jalapeño seeded and diced
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • 5 pieces eggs beaten
  • 1 cup crumbled tortilla chips
  • 1 cup shredded jack cheese
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • sea salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 pieces tortillas charred
  • Avocado slices
  • Lime wedges
  • Homemade Salsa or Tomatillo Salsa for an extra flavor boost

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a non-stick skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3 minutes. Then, add the roma tomatoes, jalapeño, and garlic clove. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently to combine, allowing the eggs to cook through. As the eggs begin to set, fold in the crumbled tortilla chips and shredded jack cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
  4. Remove from heat and fold in the chopped cilantro. Serve the migas on charred tortillas, topped with slices of avocado, lime wedges, and a generous scoop of Homemade Salsa or Tomatillo Salsa.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use freshly made tortilla chips instead of pre-packaged ones.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be soft and slightly runny for the best texture.
  • Feel free to add in other ingredients like black beans or cooked chorizo for additional flavor and protein.
  • To enhance the flavors, allow the migas to sit for a minute before serving, letting the flavors meld.
