Migas (Huevo con Tortilla)
Migas are a fast, and filling breakfast of crispy, fried corn tortilla squares and scrambled eggs! My version includes roasted poblano or red peppers and shredded cheese!
Ingredients
- 3-4 tbsp vegetable oil I use safflower
- 2 corn tortillas about 6 inches in diameter, cut into small squares
- 1/2 cup diced white onion This is about 1/2 a small white onion
- 1 roasted poblano pepper or roasted red bell pepper, cut into thin strips or squares
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese of choice Cheddar, chihuahua, manchego, monterrey jack, queso fresco, etc.
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet until shimmering, 2-3 minutes
- Cook tortilla squares until they start to turn golden, stirring ocassionally, about 5 minutes
- Add diced onions and cook until they begin to soften and become translucent, stirring occassionaly, about 3-4 minutes
- Add in the pepper strips, and mix thoroughly, allowing them to heat through, 2-3 minutes
- Whip the milk and eggs together in a bowl and add to the pan. Add salt to taste
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir to incorporate thoroughly. Stir frequently to ensure that the eggs are cooking evenly and no ingredients are sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Just before the eggs are done to your liking, add in the cheese and stir to incorporate. Turn off the heat and allow the cheese to melt slightly.
- Serve immediately
