delicious homemade Mexican migas recipe for you to try:
Ingredients
- 6 corn tortillas, cut into strips or small pieces
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso fresco)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Optional toppings: avocado slices, salsa, sour cream
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients:
- Cut the tortillas into strips or small pieces.
- Finely chop the onion and pepper, if using.
- Dice the tomato.
- Chop the cilantro.
- Cook the Tortillas:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the tortilla strips and cook until they are crispy and golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the tortilla strips from the skillet and set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent and the pepper is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced tomato and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it softens slightly.
- Prepare the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Add the crispy tortilla strips back into the skillet with the eggs and vegetables. Gently stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and everything is well mixed.
- Finish and Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and let it melt for a minute.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro.
- Serve the migas hot with lime wedges on the side. Add optional toppings like avocado slices, salsa, or sour cream if desired.
Enjoy!
