If you’ve never had migas, imagine a delicious hash made with tortilla chips and scrambled eggs. They’re similar to a dish called chilaquiles, and I definitely had to read an article to figure out the difference. Though some recipes call for pan-frying the corn tortillas, I prefer to start with chips because it saves some time.
In a medium bowl, beat together
12 eggs
1/4 c. milk
1/2 t. cumin
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
Heat a large pan. Saute for 1 minute:
1 T. oil
3 cloves minced garlic
Add the eggs and scramble. Stir in and cook for 2 more minutes, or until heated through:
4 oz. tortilla strip or chips, broken into smaller pieces
2/3 c. salsa
2/3 c. cheese (I especially love crumbled Cotija).
Serve with your favorite toppings:
avocado
cilantro
extra salsa
red onion
Migas are especially quick and delicious, the perfect meal for a day when you’re in a hurry. It’s also easy to throw in leftover, chopped veggies like onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms. My kids were feeling picky, so I didn’t include those this time. I did have a few slices of bacon from yesterday’s breakfast, so I chopped them up and cooked them with the scrambled eggs.
