Migas Recipe

There are two different dishes called migas in Mexican cuisine: One is a soup made with chiles and beef bones, and the other is a breakfast dish made with fried pieces of tortilla and scrambled eggs. If you were looking for that egg dish, good news—this is the recipe for that dish.



Migas Recipe
Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 medium corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch strips
  • 1/4 cup diced white onion
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 100 grams (about 1 cup) shredded Oaxaca cheese, or mozzarella
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced, for optional garnish
  • 2 tablespoons grated cotija cheese, for optional garnish
  • Salsa, for serving, optional
Instructions
    1. Gather the ingredients.
    2. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. In a medium bowl, add the eggs and salt. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
    3. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add tortillas and fry, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 2 minutes.
    4. Add onions and the bell peppers. Cook, stirring frequently until softened, about 5 minutes.
    5. Add the eggs, stirring to combine the ingredients. Continue to cook, stirring often, until eggs are cooked until just set.
    6. Top evenly with the Oaxaca cheese, transfer to the oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 8 minutes.
    7. Remove from the oven and top with avocado, cotija cheese, and salsa, if using.
