What is Migas?

Embed
    2 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 Corn Tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Oil, light, for frying
  • 1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper, remove rib and seeds
  • 1/4 medium Yellow Onion
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 4 extra large Eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Salsa Verde

Directions

  1. Pour the frying oil into a heavy-bottomed pan and heat over a medium heat. Don't allow it to get too hot or you will burn the tortillas!
  2. Fry each tortilla until very crispy and golden, turning to ensure that both sides are equally done.
  3. Pile the fried tortillas up then cut them into strips, then into squares.
  4. Finely dice the red pepper and onion and place with the butter into a frying pan. If you would prefer a spicier dish, add some chopped jalapenos too.
  5. Saute until the vegetables are soft, then carefully fold in the eggs and chopped tortillas, trying to avoid breaking the eggs up too much.
  6. Cook until the eggs are done, then top with the cheese and salsa verde (or topping of your choice). 
  7. Serve from the skillet once the cheese has melted.
