Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh tortillas for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 eggs, 1 cup of tortilla chips, 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup of chopped onion, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, salt and pepper to taste, and fresh tortillas for serving.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet with the onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften slightly.
- Next, add the tortilla chips to the skillet, stirring gently to combine them with the onion and tomato mixture. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the chips to warm and absorb some of the flavors.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the tortilla chip mixture in the skillet. Gently stir to combine everything, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the migas and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow it to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Once the migas are cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- While the migas are finishing, warm the fresh tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.
- To serve, spoon the migas onto plates and accompany them with the warm fresh tortillas. Enjoy your delicious migas with fresh tortillas!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh tomatoes and quality tortillas. Fresh ingredients can make a significant difference in taste.
- Customize Your Migas: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients! Avocado, bell peppers, or even leftover meats can enhance the dish and make it uniquely yours.
- Control the Heat: Keep an eye on the heat while cooking the eggs. You want them to be creamy and soft, so avoid cooking them too fast.
- Perfectly Warm Tortillas: To warm your tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20-30 seconds. This keeps them soft and pliable for wrapping around your migas.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Consider topping your migas with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream for added richness and a pop of color.
- Make it a Meal: Serve your migas with a side of refried beans or a fresh fruit salad for a complete breakfast experience.Enjoy cooking and savor every bite of this delightful dish!
